Re: MLB 2014: I paid the $20 mil posting fee for the right to start this thread
I guess maybe the question I should've asked is - I got far more fantasy production than expected, at a cheap price, out of both Donaldson and Matt Carpenter last year. I'm most likely keeping one or the other, but not both, in addition to Starling Marte, Shelby Miller, Yadier Molina and Greg Holland, all of whom I also have at bargain-basement prices (Molina and Holland because I got them for those prices in 2012). Is either one markedly more likely to sustain their 2013 production level into 2014? It seems like sort of a toss-up in Carpenter's favor given their different positions.
(Marte gets preference over either, despite the fact that his production was somewhat less, because he's much younger than either and because a technicality of our keeper rules makes it impossible for me to keep Miller, Carpenter and Donaldson even if that's what I wanted to do.)
(Other options I could keep instead of Carpenter or Donaldson are Billy Hamilton or Wil Myers, but at higher prices, though both are still tempting.)
