Keeper league

This kid is on a tear right now and has been carrying my team this year. However, I doubt he can keep up this pace but I've been wrong in this situation a couple times before.

I've been offered Starlin Castro for Starling Marte. I feel like its an obvious take.

Buy or sell Marte?

What do you say?

I would not get rid of Marte, especially for Castro.

God no.

Marte doesn't walk...he's going to at worst fade or more likely run hot/cold all season and in a keeper a young upcoming SS is more valuable than an OF like Marte.

I'm not a huge Castro fan, but given his position, I'd easily take him over someone like Marte. OFs are a dime a dozen.

Castro will likely end up with similar numbers at a much more premium position.

Marte's value probably won't get higher.

I'd definitely do it in a keeper.

I was leaning toward accepting it.

The only hiccup is that my OF is Holliday, Marte, McClouth, Morse, Carpenter, and Granderson(DL).

I still say take the deal and trade Desmond or Castro.


Castro's value (especially perceived value) will always be higher than Marte's.
