[Bostonianboy]

I am in the second year of a 10 team 5x5 Al only keeper league and there a couple of trades in eed help on.

CC Sabathia @10$
for my
Torri Hunter @4$

or

T. Nixon @5$
for my
T. Hunter @4$

The other question is who are the top 20 AL minor league players minus, N. Johnson, J. Crede, A Johnson, A. Perez, J. Bourchard, J. Hamilton, R. Andrson? those guys were taken last year. i have the #1,5,20 the pick this year and was eager to hear some feedback. especialy on who i should take #1

GO SOX!!!

If you do either trade, I would do the second. The first trade you would be trading a young and cheap outfielder on the rise for a very high potential $10 pitcher. The reason I would not do the trade is because I would be willing to bet that Hunter is more likely to repeat last season's numbers than Sabathia is. Hitting is almost always more reliable with pitching, and I tend to prefer the safer pick going into the draft.

The second trade offer you would be trading two guys that put up similar numbers last year at similar prices. Nixon had a higher batting average while Hunter put up a few more steals. Nixon is more likely to repeat last years numbers due to his solid production the last few years whereas last year was Hunter's best year by far. I would say Hunter potentially could be put up bigger numbers than Nixon, but like I said before, I prefer the safer pick going into the draft so Id prefer Nixon with his $1 more salary. Although I dont think it'll make too much of a difference, but Nixon does have the greenlight to run this season which could interpret into 10-15 steals this year, but I highly doubt any more than that.
