2B trade help - WHIR

Postby pungent » Tue May 22, 2012 3:18 pm

Hey guys, I need a couple of opinions on this.

I have Travis Snider on my bench and he's pretty protected w/ vet's and prospects so I have no worries trading him.

Which 2B would you prefer to have the rest of this year and for the next couple of years. Utley or G. Beckham?

I have both offers on the table and I can't decided. I like what Utley can provide if healthy, but we all know his issues. And with Beck, I have no idea what I'm getting from him. I like his upside and I think he has offers the biggest reward.

Thoughts?

I know Utley gets hurt a lot, but Beckham doesn't seem that great, so I'd definitely take Utley.

I would much rather have a healthy Utley, but Beckham has been swinging the bat pretty well lately. It really depends on when Utley comes back, because when he does come back I would much rather have Utley.

I'd go with Beckham. Safer than Utley, and definitely the call going forward...

Help?

Yeah this is a coin flip for me still, but thanks for the help thus far.

I fear accepting the Utley deal only for him to suffer a set back and for Beck I fear I get the guy who hits .197.

As far as risk/reward, who's got the better end of the stick here. The guys who has proven or the guy who was highly touted and not to mention when he first came up showed great flashes.

Anybody else willing to take a stab at this for me? I got some different opinions out there and just wondering if I overlooking something here. I'm leaning towards Utley since I still have Hill and Giavotella on my roster.

I'd go with Becks. I think Utley has the proverbial fork in him.
