Early AL keepers - just for kicks

[Art Vandelay]

Would you trade either my $5B Beckham (so this and next year) or $7C Tim Anderson for a $1C A Cobb or a $5C McHugh? More interested in Cobb, but not sure it's worth it to trade Anderson away for an injury-prone SP on the Rays... Thoughts?

I think Cobb is a free agent

And if Cobb is a f.a. and signs in the a.l., I would most definitely trade beckham for cobb

[SlideRule]

Ah, you are right. I'd have to gamble on Cobb going to the... Orioles? Twins? Rangers? hmmm...

And you'd trade Beckham over Anderson? Given the uncertainty of him being a F.A. I think the answer now is no deal.

I'd trade Anderson over Beckham, but that's me. I just don't see how he continues to survive with a mediocre contact rate and the worst BB rate in baseball. Now, would I trade a guy who still probably generates some profit even if he regresses for a guy with a 50/50 chance at signing in the league, but if so, probably has about $10 profit potential...I don't even like Anderson, but I'd still probably pass.
