I like the future of Candelario but I don't like it that much. Of the two principle position players involved I would rather have Trammell. Looking at the pitchers involved- A #2 overall pick v. a RP?Sorry but I have to veto
Candelario is a decent prospect but no world beater. He lacks power for the position, strikes out a fair amount, and chased pitches badly in his callup. Not ranked in top 100 despite not graduating.Zeke White is not rosterable in our format. He hardly plays (hasn't played 50 games in any of his three years). He strikes out more than once per game. He has little power, and had a sub .200 average in 2017 in lower levels. He has a career average of .234. Archie Bradley will not start. However, he is a very good bullpen arm with dirt cheap salary. He could profile as a closer as his pedigree was very good before falling apart when given repeated opportunities to start. He's a good piece.Hunter Greene is a highly touted (#2 pick just this year) stud. He has all the tools to be a dominant starter. His upside is phenomenal despite no track record just yet. Prospects can be risky, but many say he was the crown jewel of the class. #2 in Reds system and #29 overall.Taylor Trammell is a top young talent as well. He combines athleticism with great bat skills and power. He is oozing with talent. It will be interesting to see how he pans out. #3 in Reds system and #48 overall.
