What do you think? This is a 5x5 H2H I believe.

Keep Shields, Choo and Bell.

Bell is closing for the Padres, Arredondo isn't closing for the Angels. No-brainer there.

Shileds is miles ahead of Cook and although Ordonez is better than Choo, he's a lot more expensive.

[notsukao]

shields and arredondo are pretty much a wash, both should post very similar holds, ERA, and strikeout numbers. i personally dont like aaron cook much, aside from winning 16 games last year, he didnt do much. his ERA, BAA, K'S, and WHIP were right on with his previous career averages, so it wouldent be surprising to see him finish with a .500 record for the year. magglio's the best player in the deal, but is on the decline. soo choo is very hard to predict. his always done well in the minors, although his power numbers from last year were most likely a little high, hes more of a 20ish HR a year guy. bell should have a very good season as closer.

overall, youre better off keeping the guys you have (at least i think so) and you end up saving around 3-4 mil in salary by doing so

Thanks guys, I figured I was getting shorted in the deal.

I would not get rid of Shields with his contract and take on Mags Contract

[Ravens Black]

I think it could be restructured in your favor, but I dont know his team. Shields is Hamelesque. Shoo-Choo has upside too. Maggs best year is behind him.

[The Artful Dodger]

I like the Shields side by far. You have a great price on Shields, a potential bargain closer in Bell, and Choo is fairly cheap for an OF sleeper.

I have to agree you save LOT of cash also almost 9 mil for old injury pron Maggs is kinda much.
