Who you got and why?

[kldub4life]

I very much like Upton batting behind Trout, but there isn't much behind Upton.

I could easily see Cespedes hitting 20 points higher than Upton.

I believe Upton's health is less of a concern.

Really just thinking out loud, as I'm trying to figure out my last keeper.

Either one is defensible, these guys are pretty close. Flip a coin.
Steamer would take Cespedes by a few $s. I'd take Upton personally, but that's more of a gut feeling type call than one I can back up.

I'd take JUp here just because of his ability to stay on the field.

Yep. Durability is an underappreciated skill. I voted Upton witouth hesitation.

[Hornsby]

Yeppers...I third the durability option for Upton. And I really don't like the player that much...but I think that Cespedes is really starting to show his age with the soft tissue injuries.

Totally agree with everyone above. In a vacuum where we know each will play 155 games, it's close. But Upton is as durable as they come, and Cespedes has missed 100 games over the last two years. So at this point, it's not close IMO.
