Offered Adam Jones for Eliha Dukes. Accept or Decline?

GIVE - Adam Jones

GET - Elijah Jones

Thoughts? My thinking is this: Dukes probably has more upside, but Jones is guaranteed playing time (Dukes has Kearns breathing down his neck). I'm leaning towards going with Jones. What does everyone else think? I'm also an Os fan so my blind "homerisom" might be influencing my option

Both have 20/20 potential and it's close, but I have to side with Dukes here. Dukes has 180 plate appearances less, and managed 13/13. Jones had over 500, and could only do 9/10. So we're expecting Jones to ramp up production this year, while Dukes is already at that level.

Anyone else?

I'd actually go the other way. At this point I like Jones' upside. I think he's been a little overhyped by some in the preseason fantasy world, but he'll have all the opportunity in the world in Baltimore. Coin toss, but I go Jones.

Keep them coming folks. Need a few tie-breakers. Adam Jones or Elijah Dukes...pick your poison.

[Millhouse]

I own Dukes, like his 15/20 potential, and even I'd say Jones...guaranteed playing time.

Go with Jones, I see a little more potential for production this year from him.

Help?

For this year I like Dukes more. I don't think Jones will put it all together yet and think Dukes is closer to a break out year.

Any concerns over playing time for Dukes? The Nats have a crowded OF and Kearns has been been playing well. Willingham is also looming. I'm a bit worried he might only get 350 Abs.
