Bryant vs. Arenado

[ConstableRabbit]

Bryant is a FA at the end of 2021

Arenado has an opt out at the end of 2021

 

Who will post more fWAR between now and the end of 2021 season?

[sneakypower]

Bryant hasn't reached 5 fWAR his last 2 seasons

Arenado hasn't dropped below 5 his last 4 seasons

 

Nolan much safer bet here

Arenado. Mostly because of the defense. I could see over the life of Arenado’s deal KB having the highest single WAR year though between the two in the next 5-7 years. I like KB’s offensive profile a little more and all it takes is a positive outlier year on defense for him.

Yeah that's a fun follow up poll

Yeah, I’d expect Arenado to be the safer bet for 4.5-5.5 WAR the next two years and do it more consistently over the life of his deal/KBs next deal. But I think I’d lean KB to have the highest year and more likely to have a 6-7+ WAR season.

Arenado is a more valuable player but I would always rather have a guy under a two-year commitment for his prime years rather than a guy you’re stuck with deep into his 30s, and that goes triply for if the latter guy has a player opt-out
