Upton For Lind? WHIR (post link)

[SLBarnes]

I am in a 5x5 H2H keeper league.
I am keeping BJ Upton/Aaron Hill/ Jimmy Rollins/Prince Fielder/ Matt Holliday

For those of you who helped me out in my other thread I have decided to keep no pitchers (Grienke or Verlander) as people in my league value hitters much more, i feel i can get a solid rotation in the draft.

Anyways, another manager in the draft is interested in Upton, and he is keeping Adam Lind.
He proposed Upton for Lind straight up.

I rejected the deal up front, but just wondering if you think I made the right decision.

I too find myself keeping Upton and WAITING for him to break out. He's shown flashes for sure, but he needs to put it all together. Lind on the otherhand DID break out last year. Assuming Upton has the potential to top Lind's numbers last year, and I will the concensus is that he does, I keep Upton. He'll have the better cast around him. It's a tough call, but that's the way I'd go.

anyone else?

Without knowing your league, I would probably take Lind over Upton, but its close. Personal preference really.

Seems like Greinke would be the guy for me over either of them though. He's a top notch SP vs. a couple mid-level OF.

Help if you can?

Last years earnings

Greinke $38
Verlander $33
Hill $27
Lind $27
Rollins $24
BJ $20

Projected

Rollins $29
Verlander $29
Grienke $28
Lind $24
BJ $20
Hill $19

You are losing a lot in keeping Hill over either sp. I probably take Lind by a hair over BJ.

Another manager is looking for power and is looking to trade Carl Crawford, if i make the Upton for Lind trade, should I offer Lind for Crawford?

I'd definitely take Lind over BJ.
