Fantasy question-- Rondon or D. Hudson?


Hey guys,

 

First, I'd like to thank the community here for all of the great research and discussion -- I've definitely learned a lot from all of you.  I have a question regarding two AL Central pitching prospects-- Hector Rondon and Daniel Hudson.  I have to decide to keep one of them by the end of the weekend. 

 

Rondon strikes me as being a slightly more accomplished pitcher, but he might be a little further away from the majors.  Hudson, on the other hand, has an outside shot at making the CWS rotation, and even though he probably won't, he's almost certainly first in line if/when someone in front of him gets hurt.  Is that just all crazy talk? 

I'm not really interested in long-term assessments here; really, I just want to know which of these guys you project to have more major league value THIS season.

Pretty much covers it

I feel Rondon has more projection and a higher ceiling, but Hudson isn’t that far behind and should help very, very soon.

This season and long term...

Hudson. But for this season it should hands down be Hudson.

Hudson

I doubt Rondon gets any significant MLB time this year.

Thanks all

Pretty much makes my decision for me. Hudson it is.
