Bumgarner and Alderson or Anderson and Cahill?

All The Hype · Mar 16, 2009

We have a couple of dynamic duos, if you will, one for the Giants and one for the A's. All four of these guys seem to have Major League star potential. Which two would you take?

I voted for the Giants. I feel Alderson is verrrry underrated and think he could be the best of the 4 listed.

Maybe we'll put the winner or this poll up against those two next.

darocker80 · Mar 16, 2009

I am going to try and get another blue or gold of bumgarner

pujolsjunkie · Mar 16, 2009

How about the two guys that have done something above A+.

Cahill and Anderson all the way here.

I'd take Price/Davis over everyone -- even Feliz/Holland.

Very good point. Lots of people love the potential of the two Giants, but at some point, a player has to prove himself against higher levels of competition.

Bum and Aldy.

Anderson and Cahill are great and this A's vs. Giant's matchup is a close one IMO.

Aldy dominated a hitter's league and Bum pitched lights out. You wanna know the ironic part of this:

I invested my $$$ into Cahill stuff and made some decent profit. I looked at Anderson during the time of investment in Cahill and I was like "nahh." I regret not picking up more Cahill stuff.

I am fully invested and loaded with Alderson Bowman Chrome and Elite Autos. I cashed in a bit last year on him but some IDIOT (Buyer and Seller w/ great feedback) on Ebay did not pay for a BC Blue Refractor Auto ($125 Closing Price). So I am just waiting to cash in on all of my Aldy stuff so that I can move on to other prospects. I did research on BUM and did the same mistake with Anderson. $0 invested in BUM & Brett.

If they gave them a chance, I never understood why they let him stay in A ball, he obviously was untouchable.

Lincy stuff was a great bet.

They left him there because he's 19. Rushing an arm like that would have been more detrimental than helpful. What's the word on where he'll start 2009? I expect he'll at least finish the year at AA, with an invite to next spring and a chance to showcase himself a bit a la Kershaw last season. I expect him up around June of 2010.

For what it's worth, I am not an Alderson fan. I just don't really get the hype on him. Good prospect, but nothing special in my eyes.

The bolded is why I chose these two instead of one of the other duos that has been mentioned.

Of these four, I have nothing in Alderson, basically nothing in Anderson, a little into Cahill, and some in Bumgarner. I've probably held the Bumgarner stuff too long, but I figure I could sell now for an ok profit, or I could wait and see what he does this year and possibly sell for a much larger profit (or lose all my money completely). In the words of Austin Powers, "Danger is my middle name", so I decided to hold and see what he does this year.

I completely agree. Of the 4, I think Alderson has the lowest ceiling, as well as the least amount of current talent. Nothing against the guy, he's got talent. But the other 3 have shown the potential to be extremely good pitchers, while Alderson looks like a #2 compared to them.

darocker80 · Mar 16, 2009

If they all pan out, alderson will be #4 behind lincecum, cain and bumgarner haha

soccerman034 · Mar 16, 2009

The way I see it at this point:

1.) M. Bumgarner
2.) Trevor Cahill
3.) Brett Anderson
4.) Tim Alderson

I will take the 2/3 combo.
