Which SS? WHIR

Postby RowdyRed » Wed May 06, 2009 2:50 pm

I've got Asdrubal Cabrera (who is also 2B eligible) and Troy Tulowitzki at SS. I'm thinking about trying to deal one in a 12 team, 5x5 H2H league where we keep 12. Which one should I keep? Which one do you think will have a better year? Which one will have more trade value? They are both very young (under 25). Cabrera is obviously off to the better start....

Trade Cabrera. They're both good, but as you said, Cabrera is off to the better start and you can sell high on him. Tulo SHOULD be better by the end of the season, but his value definitely isn't high right now. Playing two positions should make Cabrera even more attractive to potential suitors.

I'm a Tulo owner, and while the past month has been painful, I'm still confident that he'll have a decent season. If you can get equal value in return for Cabrera, I'd rather trade Cabrera. But Tulo still has more name value, so you might still get more in return for him. I think the two of them are pretty close overall.

Thanks for the help with mine.

Buy Low / Sell High

Keeping Tulo is the choice here (assuming equal value in return)

Obviously, equal value in return, the answer is keeping Tulo. In most keeper leagues, Tulo will get you more value, though.

I agree you have to sell high right now on him.
