In a keeper league. Which of these two scenarios would you rather have? (You can keep up to 5 players.)
Assume that each player has great draft pick position if kept, except for Upton whose round seems somewhat borderline due to his off year.
Miguel Cabrera (with potential to keep 2 more years)
Bryce Harper (with potential to keep 13 more years)
Carlos Gonzalez (with potential to keep 3 more years)
Mark Trumbo (with potential to keep 14 more years)
Curtis Granderson (with potential to keep 7 more years)
OR
Mike Trout (with potential to keep 14 more years)
Justin Upton (with potential to keep 5 more years) *Upton counts for a 4th Round draft pick next year if kept, then 3rd Round, and so on ...
Carlos Gonzalez (with potential to keep 3 more years)
Mark Trumbo (with potential to keep 14 more years)
Curtis Granderson (with potential to keep 7 more years)
I'm being offered Trout for Harper/Cabrera or Trout for Harper/Gonzalez. My gut tells me to take Cargo for 3 years instead of Miggy for 2.
Since it is a 2-for-1, note the worthy replacement keeper, Justin Upton, who is my 6th best keeper on my current roster.
Thoughts? Do you do it?
