Wood has been way more valuable than Bratt this year
To you, sure. Others may see it differently.
I don't think I need to say any more than what My3Sons said.
And besides, it's not about who is more valuable. It's about who is (or rather should be) considered part of the core which is the whole conversation.
NJDevs26 asked me where the line is drawn there and I literally created that line where those above it are the "Core" players.
Mind you this is MY OPINION.
So Hersheybob, if you feel the need to tell me I'm wrong, by all means do so but know that it won't change whom I think are the Core and who aren't.
hell, you can create your own line where Mcleod, Bastian, and a bunch of scrubs are your Core if you want.
