Re: Arenado or Machado

I admit to being a Machado fanboy in MLBTS.

That said, I think Arenado is Machado with more power - or at least a less split bat (in OSFM anyway, Machado is lower vsL while Arenado is strong both ways).

So I think I'd take Arenado...but if I have to choose between them...talk about having a high-quality problem!

So...both. Move Machado to SS. Problem solved

Okay, maybe not...unless you actually have both.

Re: Arenado or Machado

Another plus for Manny is, if you have to, you can play him at short,
while with Nolan, it's third or bust.

Re: Arenado or Machado

Why not cover boy Josh Donaldson?

He's a beast but I just like Nolan and Manny more. Not a big fan of the jays but Donaldson is a great player

As Metric says, "The Beatles or the Rolling Stones"? Arenado for me, though. He'll make Scott Rolen look like Brett Wallace by the time he's done.

Arenado is my guy. Freakish defense game, crazy power for a 25 year old. Fun to watch.

Machado. In my super fielding fantasy franchise had him bat no.5 for the Red Sox and hit a grand slam in back to back games. Also no one gets away with a bunt on his watch.
