I wouldnt do either of those deals.
1. You never trade a top 3 player unless youre getting one in return or unless the offer is unbalanced in your favor you cant say no...I dont see that with either of these deals. I personally wouldnt move Pujols unless I was getting A-Rod or Vlad in return. And if it was Vlad Id want a close with him in your case.
2. Johan...this isnt popular, but he doesnt look right this year...this man is usually a machine, and i know he always has rough starts but take this into account.....He already has 9 walks this season. He didnt have 9 walks last season until after the all-star break.
