Oops. Mods, could you put this in the baseball forum where it belongs? Thanks!
My other keepers have been decided, but these 2 are too close to call, their stats are very comparable and any 2017 rankings I can find have them within a few spots of one another.
Bradley Jr. might have overachieved last season (at least in the first half), but he's young and has lots of potential. Jones is consistent, you already know what you're getting (25-30 HR, with 80-90 RBI), but that seems like his ceiling in recent years.
Opinions?

I had a few forums open in different tabs, I'm just trying to be true to my "Newbie" label by doing typical "Newbie" things.
I think with the injury risk, the age, and the increased value from last season, I would take Bradley Jr.

So do you think the Bradley Jr we saw in the 1st half last year was the real deal? I'm trying to decide if he is a great player who slumped in the 2nd half or just a decent player who had a great first few months.
I think Bradley Jr is a very streaky younger player. That being said Jones has slowed down quite a bit in the past two seasons so I would also go with JBJ
I'm or the same mindset as HR. The upside is a little higher with JBJ.

Ok, thanks to both of you for your input. I will lean towards JBJ unless I get any reason not to in spring training.
Depending on what the rest of your team looks like, Jackie Bradley has the most upside. That's my choice.

Thanks, GSD. It's a points league, 7 keepers, I tanked last season and concentrated on picking up prospects who I hoped would pan out, and thankfully two (Bregman, Turner) did, so I think I'm in decent shape as I have the 1st overall pick as well. These are my keepers:
SP:CUETO
1B:FREEMAN
SS: TURNER
3B:BREGMAN
OF:CESPEDES
OF:JONES / BRADLEY JR
DH:FRANCO
I'd hold onto Adam Jones. Bradley Jr. has shown some real upside, but not sure what kind of ceiling you're expecting? Think he's already reached it.
