I really like Rasmus and, if your league slots OF/OF/CF, then he’s probably a better value than Gonzalez, who will most likely move to the corner for Fowler. But Gonzalez is a much more well-rounded fantasy option right now because of the steals and batting average.

He probably won’t hit as well as he did last year, though, so you’re really banking on Rasmus’s ceiling. If you buy into the AS-quality player most expect him to be, do the deal. If you have hesitations or are looking for more immediate returns, keep Gonzalez.

Castro’s a relative nonentity in this deal.

Are fairly comparable players and I like Rasmus a little more than Carlos Gonzalez.
It’s a tough call, but I clicked on keeping Gonzalez because of his potential for both SBs and HRs.

that said…

Though Rasmus stole bases in the minor leagues, Tony LaRusa hasn’t given him much of a green light yet. I believe Rasmus will hit for more power and average but steal less bases in general.
The other benefit of Rasmus is his obvious playing time, right now Carlos Gonzalez has to contend with Fowler, Smith, Hawpe, Spilboroghs and other cast of characters for playing time.

don’t worry about Castro.
