Who would you rather have in a dynasty league Alex Gordon or Mark Reynolds?

Reynolds has probably overachieved to this point and I don't think that Gordon has yet come close to reaching his potential.

Agreed. Gordon is on the upswing, and Reynolds - not so much.

Definitely Alex Gordon. Mark Reynolds' AVG will have you smashing your monitor for years to come.

I would go with Gordon as well. I think he will continue to develop, and he certainly has more upside than Reynolds. Reynolds is good for power and not much else.

I'd go with Gorden as well. I think he will improve as the years go by. Reynolds strikes out too much. He just doesn't have the upside of Gorden.

In a dynasty I would go with Gordon somewhat easily. In a single-season league depending on format I might consider Reynolds.

Dynasty league he could easily take Braun's spot on the tier's of 3b.

So your comparing a player to the upside of Braun and Wright to the upside of Troy glaus. Does that answer your question? :-)
