Default Justin upton or jay Bruce?

Just curious to your guys thoughts on who will be the better keeper. It may seem like a silly question because upton is a top ten pick at season start but obviously he hasn't exactly played like it yet. The owner of him is in 12 outa 14th and I've got Bruce plus extras I could easily offer up for Justin and not miss. Should I target him as a big buy low?

No, for a few reasons. 1) Upton has never outpowered Bruce in terms of full season numbers. 2)Bruce plays in a more hitter friendly park. 3)Bruce has a lot of protection, more in my mind than does J-Up.

I really don't think I'd do it straight up, unless there's something you neglected to mention in your post.

No I own Bruce and I was just looking at the owners record who owns upton and it's horrible. Was thinking of uptons past and potential and thought if there was a time to grab him it's now. The rf I'd have to offer would be Bruce or quinton but he'd reject quinton for obvious reasons so I thought I'd struck up another post to see people's thoughts on Justin's future. I don't need him just looking...

I bought low on Jupton and I'd do it again. He's playing like a bag of crap right now but he's got like a 40-40 ceiling. Still young and a way better keeper than Bruce.

In my opinion, offer Bruce straight up for him. See what happens.

You can't tell where Upton will land (Pitts maybe?) but you know for sure Bruce plays in a hitters park and has a good line up around him. Don't fall for the lure of potential right now.

Upton has a little more uncertainty surrounding him than Bruce, which would make me want to trade him. It's easy to fall in love with his SB potential, but he's hardly playing at a 20/20 pace right now, while Bruce could bring in an underrated 35/10 season.
