Bay > Rios, so I wouldn't do the deal. Kendrick isn't a lot better than Aviles, and I'd rather have Weeks at 2nd than either of them anyways. Ibanez gives you a slightly better bench OF than Cruz, but it's not enough.
i would take that deal in a heartbeat.... Gomez is irrelevant. He's worth steals and nothing else.
Rios runs, bay is shutting that part of his game down, that Bay is THAT much better than RIOS i disagree. Rios could go into another world this year, last year he was supposed to and "disappointed". Power was down, SB's were way up..... you might wanna check his rank/#'s to a fan favorite Matt Kemp? Pretty much identical maybe even better since he K'd less in 30 more AB's? Only difference is rios was supposed to do more and Kemp outperformed his draft position...
So then you have Ibanez who's now playing in a better ball park on a SOLID team... he would put up 25/100 in SEATTLE!? whats he going to do in Philly when he's got ryan howard, utley, werth, rollins, etc and a nicer/smaller park to hit in? GOOD NUMBERS... and then there's Kendrick who i personally hate but IF he would actually stay healthy you're looking at a .320 hitter? maybe more, possible batting champ? he's just icing, i mean the deal is you're getting RIOS and Ibanez......
I say you take it? I mean if its Kemp/Ibanez/kendrick do you do it? I think yes.... so swap RIOS in there instead and ?????
only crit i have of my own post is KEMP could improve when i am comparing him to rios, but then again SO COULD RIOS... so i stand put? did i just correct then recorrect myself, then agree again anyways? I think i did!!!
