Which Side Would You Rather Have??? WHIR!!!

Postby WBC » Wed Oct 29, 2008 7:51 pm

Hey Guys,

I am in an 18 team Dynasty h2h league. I have the following question+

Which 2 players would you rather have on your team. The rest of my team is not important as I want to know face value.

Nick Markakis (signed for this season and next season only)
and
Andy Laroche (signed through 2013)

OR

Matt Laporta (signed through 2013)
and
Reid Brignac (signed through 2013)

Remember, this is a dynasty so the future needs to be taken into consideration.

PLEASE HELP!!!!

if you are planning on winning in 09 you have to take Markakis. And if you're rebuilding and there is no way you'd have Nick in 2010 then I probably take the 2 prospects.

I would probably take Markakis side even of you are rebuilding. Brignac doesn't look as attractive as he did a couple of years ago. I think I'd rather carry Markakis into the season and see how the team does. In case you are at the bottom of the league, then you can trade Markakis for a contender, I'm sure there will be someone willing to give up a top prospect for Markakis.

I like the markakis side as well. Always go with the knowns when in doubt.
He once hit a ball between my legs so hard that my center-fielder caught it on the fly backing up against the wall.

If Satch (Paige) and I were pitching on the same team, we would clinch the pennant by July fourth and go fishing until World Series time.

I would take the Markakis side. I like LaPorta, but Brignac doesn't excite me at all. You can always deal Markakis to a contender later in the year if your team falters.

I would also plan on the Markakis. If your team is doing poorly (or maybe even if not), you can always acquire younger value for him. Brignac doesn't seem to have a very bright future.

I like the Markakis side easily. Brignac is a non factor top me, and I still like Andy LaRoche almost as much as LaPorta. :*)
