Can I write in Eric Hosmer?

Butler is a proven MLB hitter who is coming into his prime and probably gives you .300/25-30 HR/.375 OBP/.500 SLG for the next 3-4 years.

Myers' upside is igher, and he certainly helps in other ways (he should eventually be a very good RF and is not the plodder on the base paths Butler is). But it's hard to decide which answer is better.

Trade the established guy who's a legitimate MLB 3-4 hitter? Or trade the potential superstar who is 100 percent unproven?
