Depends on needs but I would rather have the Bourn side personally. I think Scherzer is an up and coming stud and Verlander scares me.

please help

appreciate the response. just to play devil's advocate here, what specifically scares you about verlander? he's pitched 186, 201 and 201 IP the last 3 years so injuries don't look like a concern. he's also been even better than greinke over the past 5 weeks. what am i missing? what's the reason everyone is still so hesitant to trust him? isnt he similar to greinke in that they were both top talents that were solid but never broke out until this year?

I have Verlander and I'm going to hold onto him and enjoy the ride, for however long it lasts. I'd say Scherzer side wins.

Help me?

I like the Max side of the deal. Verlander is solid, but man, when he gets rocked, he gets rocked hard, he scares me too.

Help me?
