Super Huge Ridiculous Trade, Pick a Side

[PittPens1787]

Keep 9 Roto League. Cats: HR, RBI, SB, AVG, OPS, E // K, CG, W, SV, ERA, WHIP

Trade deadline fast approaching, some crazy stuff going down. Just curious which side you guys would rather have in this:

Side 1:
Anthony Rizzo
Carlos Correa
Mookie Betts
Joc Pederson
Matt Carpenter
Yu Darvish
Hyun Jin Ryu
Masahiro Tanaka
Jose Reyes
Taylor Jungmann
Cody Allen


Side 2:
Paul Goldschmidt
Zack Greinke
Miguel Cabrera
Jason Hammel
Carlos Gomez
Francisco Liriano
Aroldis Chapman

I think Side 2 wins pretty clearly this season, but which group would you rather have looking to next season and beyond?

Wow. I think this is the definition of a win now vs a win later trade. On side 1 you have 4 very young, and yet very good players in Rizzo, Betts, Pederson, and Correa. Everyone else is kind of a throw in to me. Darvish won’t be great next yr, but maybe his command comes back for 2017. Carpenter is meh, Jin Ryu the same, Tanaka is good when playing but his injury potential is huge, Reyes is still a really good SS but soon will switch positions like Hanley, Cody Allen is a good RP but meh really, and Jungmann is a good young pitcher already showing his flashes of talent.

Meanwhile on side 2, you have 4 top 20 players. 2 of the best RP, and a good SP in Hammel. Geez that’s a toughy.

Rizzo and Correa are top 15 assets, and in a keeper league Correa is like McDavid. But I personally like going for the win every yr, and side 2 is what I would go for IF you are in the running this yr.

I play to win so give me side 2 here.

Grenkie, Goldschmidt, Chapman and Gomez aren't even all that old comparatively. I would take side 2 based on the fact they are all sure things, you know what you're getting, and they still have plenty of good years left.
