Tex / Shields for Sizemore / Grienke

[Dislexic Irishman]

I'm giving up Tex and have Votto in my Util. spot.
I'm not too concerned about chasing steals this early, but is this a good value trade?

I like sizemore more than Tex but I like shields way more than grienke so its kinda hard.... given the fact that you have votto on your team at utility gives you some flexibility to move tex so in your case the deal may make more sense than others

I would do this trade.

I see Shields and Greinke as very comparable. Shields better WHIP, Greinke better Ks, similar ERA. Tough to predict Wins, but have to give edge to Shields, even though only one win seperated them last year.

Between Tex and Sizemore, its Sizemore hands down.
