I just got offered Posey for Carlos Santana. Who do you like this year?

take posey. Santana will be in the better lineup, but I like Posey being 1b eligible. And should have a better avg

Hopefully you don't have to play Posey for a long period of time at 1st. His numbers will be OK for 1B but really good for C. Santana has been starting some games at 1B also, so he may likely gain elegibility there (check your league's rules). I like both of them and think their numbers will be similar at the end of the year. That person probably offered you Santana because he's slumping a bit now, but he'll come out of it. I like Posey slightly more given Santana's injury from last year. You may want to consider asking for an additional player that would help your team along with Santana; I would if you're considering the trade.

I think both will end up with similar numbers which means Santana will outproduce Posey from here on out.

Santana is going to come out of his slump and absolutely mash.

Check out this article about his approach at the plate.
