Who for Rollins?

[ajl917]

Hey,

Being a Phillies fan, it would be nice to get a Phillies player on my team, so I thought I would go for Rollins since his stock still might be a bit low. The team that has him is in need of a 2B. I have Kinsler and Uggla. If I would be able to get a trade for Rollins, who would be a better trade for me? Like who will end up better? Im leaning towards trading Kinsler and keeping Uggla and hoping he steps it up soon. What do you guys think?

Being a Phils fan myself, I know it's always nice to have one of our own in the lineup.

Kinsler is eons ahead of Uggla. If you can somehow move Uggla instead, go for that.

Well Kinsler has been better so far, but he is slowly tailing off while Uggla is getting going now. Im looking long term with this trade, which one of my 2B will end up with the better season...

The season is a 1/4 over. How can you know that Kinsler's tail off is going to be slow and steady and that Uggla's rise is going to be consistently upward. Your question is impossible to answer with any certainty as no one can predict the season; but if I were you, I would trade Uggla over Kinsler to try to get Rollins.
