let a trade go thru for keepers????

You have to let this go through. Not really a question in my mind.

It's a perfectly fair deal. Doesn't get much more even than that.

I feel you are undervaluing Rivera. Plus, Ichiro provides tremendously high average and steals. In my opinion, Utley for Ichiro should not be vetoed. If the team getting Ichiro really needed speed/average and had a capable backup at 2B, it is a reasonable deal (although the Utley side clearly gets the better all around player). Anyway, this trade is a bump in my opinion.
