No way! You don't even need CC, you have a great pitching staff (except McGowan, don't expect him or Marcum to pitch at all this season). Offense over pitching... always. ;-D

I actually do that deal. Prince is good don't get me wrong but look at your offense. Your power guys are very good. McGowan is out, Sheets is out, Johan is dealing with some elbow soreness(although I don't expect it is much). I definitely do this. See if you can package Werth in the deal for an upgrade for him and run away with the championship.

You could use the arm, and you have plenty of power, I'd make the deal, but you also better make another deal for a closer.

Yikes, I didn't even see Sheets on the team. I'd still rather keep Prince and look for bargain pitchers.

I would not make that trade although it is tempting

I would make the trade. You have plenty of power bats, and your pitching is very nice but McGowan might not even pitch this year and who knows what Sheets gives you if he comes back in August. I would take CC

i think fielder definately has more value than CC, but your team has an abundance of 1st basemen and you could use the extra ace. maybe try to get a throw-in on the deal? but if not, i think that deal would make your team better. CC and Johan would be great anchors to that staff.

help with mine?
