Who do you take if you where starting a franchise?

Let's see....
Kershaw/Chamberlain: Wash
Billingsley/Hughes: Hughes
Broxton/Kennedy: Broxton
I'd go with the Dodgers trio, simply because they're more proven, but it's close. -
I hate myself for saying this, but the Yanks have the better IMO.Comment

Dodgers' Trio. Broxton and Billingsley are proven. Kershaw is a higher ranked prospect than Joba."I'm happy for [Edwin Encarnacion] because this guy bleeds internally, big-time" -Dusty Baker

No, he's not. Chamberlain, deservedly or not, is #3. Kershaw is #7.Comment

I think that Joba and Kershaw have around the same potential, but the fact that Kershaw is a lefty puts him slightly ahead for me. Billingsley and Hughes are comparable, but Billingsley is more proven. Usually, I would take a starter over a closer, but Broxton has such good stuff and is proven, so I think he is a notch above Kennedy. I would probably take the Dodgers right now, but it is very close, and I could see it going either way.Last edited by jsmets92; 03-01-2008, 09:37 AM."All shortstops can dance...Derek Jeter is a fullback with power and speed.

Baseball America's is the best, and it's the one I go by. They have Chamberlain 3 and Kershaw 7.Originally posted by NYMets523 View PostComment

Still, these are better comparisons:Originally posted by Erik Bedard View Post
Billingsley vs. Hughes
Broxton vs. Chamberlain
Kershaw vs. Kennedy
In all of those, the Dodgers' trio beat the Yankees' trio."I'm happy for [Edwin Encarnacion] because this guy bleeds internally, big-time" -Dusty Baker

I guess if you want to go by role and experience, then that's the best way, but if you rank them 1-3 based solely on prospectness, then it's how I had them earlier.Comment

Hughes, Broxton, and Billingsley aren't prospects. So going by 'prospectness' doesn't make sense."I'm happy for [Edwin Encarnacion] because this guy bleeds internally, big-time" -Dusty Baker

Assuming they were all prospects. Their status shouldn't matter.Comment
