I give: Ryan Braun, Billy Butler I get: Matt Kemp, Tim Lincecum
What do you think of this deal? Braun and Kemp are pretty even, so will Lincecum go back to his normal self? Will Butler hit .330 all year?
Current Roster:
C - Kurt Suzuki 1B - Prince Fielder 2B - Ian Stewart SS - Starlin Castro 3B - Ryan Zimmerman OF - Ryan Braun OF - Justin Upton OF - Brennan Boesch Util - Billy Butler Util - Michael Cuddyer Bn - Carlos Santana Bn - Jason Bartlett
SP - Felix Hernandez SP - Clayton Kershaw P - Justin Verlander P - Stephen Strasburg RP - RP - Drew Storen Bn - Johnny Cueto Bn - Mike Leake Bn - Ervin Santana Bn - Max Scherzer
That is tough my friend...I think it's a no brainer if Timmy gets his act together, which is probable, but then again, you look at a Mark Prior, who in an instant went from a Elite SP to a nothing full of injuries. That has always been my concern with POWER pitchers, is their lack of long term abilities.
I still love Braun/Butler as young as they are, and Kemp, well I am not a huge fan. I think it boils down to your gut. On paper, TL/MK wins, but in reality, that's your call.
Butler is nice in this league since hits are the 6th category, but I still like the Lincecum/Kemp side. That is two first round picks right there. Sure, Lincecum may now be considered second round, but regardless, Braun and Kemp are pretty close, and Lincecum is worth far more than Butler. Take the deal.
