Draft and Trade Talk Message Board

If you were only able to keep 1 for next year for original draft price (Sale-14, Medlen-21) which would you keep? Conventional wisdom says Sale but Medlen has been unstoppable since being added to the rotation. Just interested to see what people think.

I would go with Desmond, Sale, Medlen, Craig, Molina, and Hill, in that order.

Don't keep Cespedes or Rizzo, they are pretty easy to replace with the positions they play on, so there, now you can keep Medlen and Sale,

Not a bad thought. I could also potentially keep Aaron Hill for next to nothing too. God I wish I could keep more players...Desmond, Craig, Cespedes, Hill, Sale, Medlen, Rizzo, Molina all taken after the 15th round or picked up as FAs

If it were me with those choices, I wouldn't keep Cespedes or Rizzo (OF and 1B are pretty deep positions) or Craig, as much as I love him. He's been injured a lot already in his relatively short career and probably more importantly, he loses 2B eligibility next year, leaving him only 1B and OF. Again, those are pretty deep positions. Molina's a tough one. Great player at a shallow position, but I'm not sure if the Cards would sit him more often than he usually does since they've invested a lot of money on him. The Twins have done that with Mauer, and he's only a year younger than Molina. The Twins also have the advantage of the DH and 1B to play Mauer more often, which the Cards don't have. I could see Molina being a 3/4 of a season player, which is still about 120 games, but if I'm keeping a player, I would want to see more guaranteed playing time.
If I had your choices, I would keep Desmond, Sale, and basically flip a coin on Medlen and Molina, with an edge towards Molina. - View More Messages
