Manny Ramirez for Cameron Maybin and Adam Jones

I'm in a keeper league, should I do this trade? I'm the one trading Man Ram.

If you aren't trying to win this year then go ahead. Otherwise I wouldn't do it.

My thoughts exactly. If you've already decided you're rebuilding this year and can't compete, pull the trigger. It's a little early to throw in the towel though, so I'd say no.

Even for 2010, there's no guarantee Maybin and Jones will be significant fantasy contributors.

I'd trade Manny for the right keepers but agree about Maybin and Jones. Not sold on either and Manny is likely to be more valuable over the next three seasons.

Maine has a good swing for a pitcher but on anything that moves, he has no chance. And if it's a fastball, it has to be up in the zone. Basically, the pitcher has to hit his bat. - Mike Pelfrey

I don't think it's bad value for an aging slugger (he's 38 in May), but here might be the case of being better served just keeping him.

I like Maybin, but he's potentially a new Mike Cameron, who by and large goes undrafted. Jones is solid all-around talent: most keepers aren't deep enough for him to truly excel.

Manny, on the other hand, will burn out rather than Vladdy's slow fade away.

I myself turned down giving up Jay Bruce for Manny today, but I was advised here to do it, for the record. You could aim higher if you wished.

You could do a lot better for Manny. He may be getting up there in age but he's still a force. If you want to move Manny, think quality, not quantity.
