I'd like to add that while it looks like Price is the real deal (and maybe more), his value might be inflated because of his great relief performances in the playoffs. It might not hurt to send out some feelers and see what people would give you for him. Definitely not for Arredondo though.

You don't think somebody might overpay for him at this point right now though? I can't imagine his value will ever be higher at a point with such little experience.

I agree with the above comment. I'm a Vandy fan, so following Price has been a treat. I really do beleive that Price will be special. He's always been a great clubhouse leader and has a terrific attidue. He's already started a charity program in Nashville, etc.

That being said, it seems like the best move is always to sell high on young SPs if they start off strong. Just my opinion, but if you can get a player that will instantly help you compete in 09, I think you have to make the move. Let's just say that Price makes his first start of the year and gives up 5 runs. His value drops like a rock. It will take a good amount of time to build it back. I think you should cash in on his value now. I think fantasy rosters should be very fluid, taking advantage of current situations.

I'd hang onto Price, no doubt. Arredondo probably has a 50-50 chance between him and Scot Shields to take the closer role anyway.

I saw David Price on Halloween in a Spongebob Squarepants costume. Hilarious, and definitely a great personality.

That said, and being completely mercenary about fantasy baseball, probably right to be thinking about selling high on Price. Arredondo is not selling high on him though.
