I voted for V-Dub only because I have not seen Glaus on a consistent basis over his career. I actually think it will be a close race between Wells and Glaus, and I think Glaus will have a standout year. Having said that, I like Vernon with 113 RBI's this season followed by Troy's second place finish on the team with 104 RBI's.
I put Glaus. He's got a good shot for a .900 OPS season with 35+ homers and that should beat everyone else in the lineup. His numbers are going to depend on whether Lyle or Vernon are in front of him.
This is the optimist in me coming out, but I think having Glaus and Overbay around him in some form will help Wells to really break through in a big way, and that's why I voted for him. Although the argument could go the other way too in that it'd help Glaus, I think Wells is due.
Wells - 123
Glaus - 109
Wells - 123
Glaus - 109
And just to add, I think if Glaus played 145 + games he'd win the RBI contest, but I see Glaus playing more like 125 - 145 games and Vernon putting in a full season.
Eric Hinske will lead the team with 57 RBIs. At one point in the season.
Hey, it never says at the end of the season.

Glaus 118. Though I'm really rooting for Wells to have a big season.
