Although you could really go either way, I do it. I think Hanson is gonna be a stud and he could end up being your 5th keeper, although its gonna be really hard to choose between Weiters and Hanson. Whats the rest of your roster look like?
C Matt Wieters (Bal - C) 1B James Loney (LAD - 1B) 2B Robinson Canó (NYY - 2B) 3B Adrián Béltre (Sea - 3B) SS Hanley Ramírez (Fla - SS) CI Lyle Overbay (Tor - 1B) MI Ian Stewart (Col - 2B,3B) OF Jay Bruce (Cin - OF) OF Ryan Braun (Mil - OF) OF Marlon Byrd (Tex - OF) Util Nolan Reimold (Bal - OF) Util Melky Cabrera (NYY - OF) BN Cristian Guzmán (Was - SS) BN Milton Bradley (ChC - OF) BN Jake Fox (ChC - OF) DL Xavier Nady (NYY - OF) DL Travis Hafner (Cle - Util)
Trends Pitching
SP David Price (TB - SP) SP Kris Medlen - i kno he is in the pen (Atl - SP,RP) SP A.J. Burnett (NYY - SP) SP Ted Lilly (ChC - SP) RP Kevin Gregg (ChC - RP) RP Jason Motte (StL - RP) P Matt Lindstrom (Fla - RP) BN Carlos Zambrano (ChC - SP)
I'd do it. You will be ok if you loose a little pop in the OF, but you could definitely use a little help in your rotation. So you get a possible huge upside player, who will actually fill a gap in your current roster...
The hitter always develops faster than the pitcher, so keep that in mind. If you're trying to win soon, I'd say Bruce. But I think Hanson will be the better talent long term.
