Joba or Price?

[Wladimer]

Who would you rather have for this year, the next 3 years, and the next 5 years?

I have one and was offered the other in a trade, and am having a really, really tough time evaluating which one I like better in a full keeper.

Any and all help is appreciated, and would be happy to help in return if I can.

Well the Yankees finally seem committed to giving Joba 30 starts this season, after previously suggesting he would get no more than 15. Price is likely to start the season in AAA. So this year Joba. For the future... Joba if I have to decide now. We haven't really seen what Price can bring to the table at the major league level.

This year-Joba
3 years-Joba
5-Years-Joba

Until Price can get some real MLB time I gotta go with Joba

[Kimbos Beard]

Right Now - Joba
3 Years - Joba
5 Years - Joba

Joba's sample size is not huge but he has proven he has the stuff to be nasty at the major league level.

Everyone loves Price, but we haven't seen anything from him yet to determine how much is hype and how muchis reality.

Get Joba now in keepers. If he proves that he can hold up to 160+ innings this year, he's going to get expensive next year. It is fun as heck to watch him pitch too. He pumps the guy out before the umpire does.

Can't really gauge Price since he pitched so little so far.

For this year you have to go with Joba. For the future who knows. One thing that is certain is Joba's sample size for competing in the Majors is more extensive than Price's and that sample size is impressive. Price on the other hand has a very small sample size but is equally impressive with his small but dominating performance during Tampa's playoff run last year.

Personally I like Price a bit more but believe you cant go wrong either way, both of these guys should succeed at a very high level in their careers.

Joba. He's more proven and has more experience.

its impossible not to say joba for now and later considering how few innings price has pitched. We do know that price has a good track record from college though.
