Fielder for middle infielder, value opinions wanted

[mateo150]

I have Fielder...I want to offer him for a middle infielder. I was thinking B. Phillips or B. Roberts. As a FB rook, I need some value help. What kind of MI can I get for Fielder?

fielder is considered one of hte elite 1Bs, so his value typically translates into a second/third round player. of course, thats based on a draft, and those are always unique...

this could be helpful for gauging current value:

and R&C did a great thread where he listed a players median draft position... this will let you see who was typically drafted in fielder's neighborhood:

Thank you very much...So I'm looking at Brandon Phillips and Brian Roberts. Why is Brandon Phillips > Brian Roberts???

I'm looking at their stats and both look about equal. I actually need SB's more than power, hence why I can dish Fielder...so wouldn't that make Roberts a better trade for me? Is Phillips much better than Roberts? Is there some upside that I should know about?

I haven't ever seen either one of them play, or know the situations surrounding their teams, ballparks, etc...
