12 team Keeper league. Each year a player is kept it is $3 added.

I had Josh Bell this season for $0. I am being offered Yoan Moncada who was also offered $0. I know Moncada will probably start in the minors, but his long term is phenomenal.

So It would be: Josh Bell $3 for Yoan Moncada for $3. Thoughts?

Without knowing the rest of your roster, do it.

Moncada has a higher ceiling but with more risk IMO. Bell is a little safer, but doesn't have the potential Moncada has.

I'm keeping Abreu at 1st, Bregman at 3rd, Bell was going to play 1st/3rd. I was going to have little power at the power positions, so that alone makes me like this move. But I know Moncada is a risk

I'm in the "do it" catagory...

Moncada lost a little luster because he had trouble hitting on a couple of pitches coming straight from AA... He'll be starting in AAA to figure out those and will be gold when back in the Bigs...

I love Josh Bell. His walk to strikeout ratio for a rookie was unbelievable. I would be hesitant to give him up.

Moncada has the ceiling to be a $40-50 player.

I like Bell a lot but I'd go with Moncada. Higher ceiling, worth the risk.

I took it, didn't think much about it. The other player (who is in this thread and took up for Bell) is obsessed with Bell and values the average and on base percentage Bell brings. Also, no telling when Yoan will get called up. I need the Chi Sox to suck and sell pieces so he gets up quicker.

I think for this season Bell is better, but I think in 2 years he should be a top 20 player easily
