Jose Reyes
Mike Moustakas
Jacoby Ellsbury
Hunter Pence
Felix Hernandez
one of Dan Uggla or Brian Wilson (depending on his arm)
I can deal Wilson for either Brett Gardner or Jose Altuve for my final keeper slot instead of Uggla. Who do you prefer for the next 2-3 years? Altuve is obviously a lot younger, but doesn't have the supporting cast that Gardner does.
Your point is right on, Altuve simply won't have the same supporting cast. However, Gardner's injury plagued season has to be considered. Then again, Gardner isn't really that old and has such a stacked team around him that I think he'll put you in a better position next season and the year after.
