cain or calhaun ?

[wannabegriffey]

5x5, a.l. only, on base instead of bat aver

Cain is 5B, which means he can be extended next spring at $5 per extra year

Calhaun is 10Y, which means he is in final year of contract in 2016


Who is the better trade target ?

At first blush, I'd say Calhoun. Strong OBP, hitting in a run producing position, decent power, and he has a expiring contract, so the owner (assuming he's dumping) will be motivated to move him. Cain will give you solid OBP and more SB, so if speed is a need, then he should be your target. If I owned Cain and he could be extended, I'd need a strong offer to pry him loose.

Calhoun for this year or next, Cain for beyond. Both have value in the low-twenties, so Cain should only be extended for 2 years @ $15.
