Sizemore trade involving Beltran and Youk(WHIR)

[lilfrier]

I say no because Mauer is going to miss time, and Chipper's a guarantee to be on the DL. Youk and Beltran are really good, and Doumit's definitely on the rise.

Here's mine: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=373869

I dont do this trade.

Sure Sizemore is nice and young, but he isnt THAT much better than Beltran looking at last year's numbers.

With that said, I feel everything else is a downgrade.

Chipper is nice, but you know he will go on the DL at least twice this year. Maur is also an injury risk, so that brings him down a little. Joba is worlds better than Perez.

Sizemore is nice, but like the second poster said it isnt enough to make up for the other losses.

I would not make this trade. Sizemore and Beltran are pretty much a wash in my opinon, Joba is better than Perez, the upgrade from Doumit to Mauer isn't all that great and Chipper is bound for the DL at some point(s). Also, Youkilis is a good player who hits in a pretty good lineup. Thanks for your help with mine.
