Artest or Palmeiro?

Our friend AMR states that he'd take Artest and Raffi Palmeiro (for the Twins). I don't know where Raffi'd play, but I would not be adverse to signing him on principle.
So, who would you rather take: Artest or Palmeiro?


Well, Ron-DL White kindof took Raffi's spot in the lineup. I just figured he's be a cheap, what-the-heck big-bat lark that might pay off (like Bret Boone was and didn't). But then, I still think Raffi was framed.
It's just a simple matter of math.
raffi-roids=old+crappy+injury prone
And unless Artest gets ejected for the season (25% probability), gets kicked of the team (20% probability) or kills someone (5% probability) we have
artest+wolves=NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BABY!!!

I don't vote in my own polls, but I'd vote for Artest in a heartbeat.
As the "resident" non-Wolves fan around here, I feel I can advise you who are on Ron Artest. (FYI, I'm originally from Indy and a HUGE Pacers fan.) Artest is the best all-around player for the Pacers in my lifetime. Period. That said, he is not easy on the heart. Worse that watching JC pitch. At least with JC you know the inherited runner is going to score, you can brace your self. You never know what is going to happen with Ron. It can be so very frustrating/nerve-racking waiting for something to go wrong. I can�t really enjoy a Pacers game because I�m just waiting. I guess my point is that you want him on your team, I just don�t know if you want to try to stomach him.
