Verlander or Felix?

Postby davercomeau » Sat Dec 20, 2008 8:38 pm

I'm in a keeper league. I have two offers for Brandon Phillips - one for Verlander and one for Felix Hernandez.

Who would you choose?

I would go with Verlander. He's only getting better and plays on a great offensive team. He'll get wins and should do average in all the other categories. Little more risk of injury with Hernandez as well as less wins.

Please help with my post viewtopic.php?t=364742

i wouldn't trade phillips straight up for either. if you must, felix is easily the better choice. but the best decision is neither.

Verlander is due for a bounce back season but if i had to pull the trigger at this moment id do Felix. Hes had horrible support and hes just 22. Hes also a K machine!

I agree with GiantsFan . I wouldn't trade either unless you had to. If you don't have a utility spot , then I would much rather have Felix.

If thats all the better offers you are getting I'd just hold off untill after the draft. They'll be begging for Phillips then. Neither offer is nearly enough

How is he getting better? His fastball dropped to 92 mph last year, along with his whip/era.

I would hold off on trade, even though i love Felix in a keeper.
