sorry to tell you but i think that the justin upton side trade wins.

i see upton as the best player in the trade for a keeper format, and haren is just as good as verlander. even with verlander pitching great haren has been great aswell.

Interesting, I know Upton has a lot of upside, I thought this trade was close but didn't think that the other guy clearly go the better deal. I actually dropped and Upton in April and picked him back up right when he got hot again. Any thoughts on scarcity at the position? 3B vs OF's?

[master_herm]

Yeah, OF is definitely an easier position to replace. In that sense, it's an ok trade for you. I don't see anything especially wrong with it; you got Wright who is (right now) the best player in the deal. I see this trade as an advantage to you now, maybe a slight disadvantage a couple years down the line.

Help?

in a keeper format this is close, but the wright side still wins.

[DTMan]

Yeah, +1 for the Wright side. I think the price is right on Wright now and I like Verlander the rest of the way too.
