Cowser Vs Kjerstad

[Sports Guy]

If a player/return we want is there and the other team says, you can choose whichever one of Kjerstad or Cowser you want to trade for the player, which one are you trading?

In other words, who would you rather see the Os keep if you could only choose one of them?

Why not both?

[interloper]

I'm ridiculously on record saying Kjerstad is going to have a Raffy-like career. Lol. So I guess I have to go with Kjerstad.

Did you actually read the question?

Everyone wants the "new" unproven minor league player.  Or the #2 quarterback!! LOL.

I’m giving the edge to Kjerstad but I think it’s close.

Yeah but I aint in the mood to try to mentally figure out which first round pick I would rather keep if I had to trade one.  Its a made up situation.  Its pointless.  I would rather keep both.  

And now Cowser has a tiny sample size and people will be screaming to keep Kjerstad.  LOL   Its okay if your bored today and have nothing to think about then this.  Not quite debating imaginary trades but almost.

Then just ignore it. 
 

And btw, this scenario absolutely could come into play in the next few weeks.

The only way I’m trading either is if they can be the main piece to get a young, controllable starter.

I voted Cowser but ask me tomorrow and I might literally have a different answer.

Hell, ask me 5 minutes from now and that might be the case! 

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

I went with Kjerstad, but it's too close to call for me.

[Jim'sKid26]

Kjerstad.

He fits the modern game better with power and EVs being his calling card.

He has a better pedigree being from an SEC baseball power.

I like his story a bit more, coming back from COVID and all.

@Sports_Guy, do you have a proposal for a 3 team trade? 

[Hank Scorpio]

I'd rather keep Cowser, but it's damn close. That is very difficult choice.

Starters are always a gamble, but that's our need.

I believe “mental masturbation” is the term you are looking for.
