I am the owner of both players. They are the same price and their contracts are up. I can give either or both an increase of one year.
I am not going to stand pat on both as I will most likely need one of them as trade bait in season. This is a Chicago market so a few league members have a bias, but for the most part these guys do not let homerism affect their decision making.
Both are young. Schwarber has to looked at as an OF for this year and maybe for next as well. Franco is more desirable at 3B and more proven. Schwarber has a lot of hype but has performed well at all levels. Will playing time be an issue for Schwarber? Most feel the Cubs need his bat in the lineup. I am not so sure that he gets 500 abs.
I want to make sure I am not blinded by my love of the Cubs and this local hero.
Who do you like better for this year and next?
