Upton is worth as much as Tulo is

Try and package Fielder and Reyes for a top 5 player. You won't get much for Hamilton in a 2 player keeper league.

Both top 5 players in a keeper league. There is very little difference between players in the top 5, other than a guy like Pujols who stood out a few years ago.

I'd do it unless you can find someone willing to give up a 1st for Fielder/Reyes

There are zero SS who does what Tulo does.


There are about 10 OF who can do what Upton does. He's not a top 5 player in a keeper league. He's not even a top 5 OF.

Look at their 3 year average. Tulo averages 3 more runs, 5 more HRs, 16 more RBI, 5 less SB, and has an OPS almost 70 points higher. All from a thin position.

Im not saying Upton isn't good, but Tulo is a better fantasy option.

Braun and Kemp are the only 2 that I'd take over him, and they're top 5 players.

Well that's you big Lou. When Upton decides to drive in 100+, then maybe we will be on to something.

Braun
Kemp
Granderson
Bautista
CarGo
Ellsbury

then maybe we can throw in Jupton

I really wanted Upton from you, but Toula was quicker to a computer.
