Martin/Drew for Markakis

[hawaiistfball]

If you can get him to go for Martin/Huff I think it would work out much better for you. I don't like losing Drew, Ortiz needs to be in the lineup and I don't trust Huff. If you can't swing that I would still take the deal and pickup Navarro and Tejeda but I'd try for the better deal first.

Markakis is the best player in the deal and hitting his prime. I've always owned Martin and he is crazy overrated.

The problem that I am going to run into is that they are okay at the 1B/3B already. I am not sure if he is going to want to pick up another. I would agree that Markakis is in his prime.

In the end, Tejada could be a wash for Drew. And, I only need to pick up a catcher until Wieters gets called up. Still on the fence about it. Any other thoughts? Thanks guys.

I countered with Huff/Drew for Markasis. I am hoping to not have to give up Martin. If he still wants Martin, I think that I should include another player. Any thoughts? Thanks.
