Pretend for a moment that you're Sandy, and that you haven't retired after winning the 2016 World Series, and it's the offseason. You're offered a trade for a piece you need - let's say, a better everyday catcher or whatever. It'll help next year for sure. But the opposing squad asks for either Lugo or Gsellman in the return package: Everything else is equal. Which guy do you trade? Explain...

Gsellman is 3 years younger, so I trade Lugo.

Gsellman by rear naked choke. Bye Lugo.

This is a variation on that diabolical Duda-vs.-Davis conundrum you kept posing ... until just that scenario eventually came to pass!

I don't know. I kinda really like Lugo. I'm thinking of asking him to go steady.

I think I'd rather keep Lugo. But what do I know? I was firmly on Team Ike when we were weighing Davis vs. Duda.

I'd have them wrestle in a steel cage death match (no holds barred) and keep the winner.

I'm putting a wig and a bunch of tats on Rafael Montero and telling them it's either Gsellman or Lugo, and then not answering any return calls.

Only when I asked that one I had made up my mind on the right answer (It was Duda, and I was right). I was on Team Gazelle Man pretty hard till these lst 2 outings, now it looks like there's no right choice. I need to study what the projections, age, etc say on these guys before I answer.

He'll have more than Jay Bruce.

To me, Gsellman's stuff/slightly-Bad-Wheelery results give him the glint of someone who'll maybe always be JUST about to happen, but never really HAPPEN happen, you know? I think Lugo has more meat to him. 3rd- starter- y meat, but still.

That shoulder injury that keeps Gsellman from batting could be the difference maker if they have to choose between the two for a potential post-season rotation.
