I'm assuming that means it's not BOTH, but rather either/or. I am actually a big fan of Brantley. If/when we don't get Harper, they will then play the "don't put all of our eggs in one basket" approach.
I could then see them doing the Greinke/Goldy trade and signing someone like Brantley. I would prefer Harper and I'm not sold on Goldy long term, especially after the Fowler experience, but I would like the temporary upgrade.
