I would keep Castro and Butler over Pineda too. Choo is intriguing too and would suspect he'll bounce back, follow his progress in ST as long as you can before declaring. I would seriously consider him over Butler depending on what OF guys will be available in the draft.

Easy, Butler isn't anything special.
Choo isn't anything special either. Butler's second half of 13 HR gives us a glimpse that he could start hitting 25+ HR which would start making him special. Butler is just starting into his peak age which should translate into more HR and more counting stats. Choo is a good bet for 20/20 so no slouch either but he also could do what he did last year again.

Choo was hurt last year, only played 85 games. Choo will give you 15-20 sb. I don't see much difference in other numbers, maybe a few more hrs for Butler.

I agree they both could end up with very similar numbers or very similar value. Butler has more upside as he is younger and just hitting his peak power age. Choo should be solid as well but he is now over 30 and a decline will start happening. Personally I prefer the upside play which is Butler.
