Dynasty advice blah blah

I know everyone hates fantasy stuff on here, and normally I wouldn't ask it, but this one's too close for me to call.

I was offered Neftali Feliz and either Porcello or Buchholz

for Justin Smoak and Jeremy Hellickson

I personally like the deal, because I have some pretty good bats in my farm system, and only 1 good arm. I guess I'm more curious as who to take between Porcello and Buchholz in the deal.

The contracts system is that I would have Porcello or Buchholz for the next 3 years and the other 3 for up to 6 years.

As you are all wise sages I was curious to know what you thought. Thanks all.

Why...

Porcello is younger and the is currently the better pitcher. He also has at least the same amount of upside Buchholz has. Feliz and Porcello are the top two guys named.

Out of Buchholz and Porcello, who will be better for the next 3 years. I think if I could lock Porcello up long term, I’d take I’d take him based on being younger. I’m just worried I’d have to throw Porcello back just when he’s hitting his stride, where I might be able to get better short term value out of Buchholz.
