Carpenter or Ubaldo?

Postby garf112 » Sat Jan 02, 2010 5:13 pm

Our league= 5X5 with OBP instead of AVG keeper (we keep 8 from year to year) DOH! don't know why I didn't add that "little" fact.

Do I trade an 8th round pick for Carpenter or a 7th round pick for Ubaldo.

Ubaldo's upside makes me want to go higher, but Carpenter is probably the better pitcher for 2010.

My only keeper pitcher right now is Roy Halladay, so I might want the Ks from Ubaldo... ugh.

You've got to go with Carpenter here. Granted there is always the injury concern, but if he makes 30-35 starts you can lock up a top 5 finish in the Cy Young balloting. While neither is technically a sure thing and the difference in draft picks is negligible, I'd much rather have Carp.

Please help me out, thanks:

I have what may be an unhealthy man crush on Ubaldo Jimenez, but that said, I'd take Carpenter. He is currently the better pitcher of the two, and he'll cost a round later selection (which is really just gravy at this point). As much as I'd like to say Ubaldo, I can't, go Carp.

I'll dissent and go with Ubaldo by a hair. They're very close and Carpenter may have good upside, but he is too much of an injury risk. Jimenez has the body type that he'll have a minuscule chance of getting injured. Plus I like the Ks better.
