Trade Fielder/Shields/Price for A-Rod/Haren?? WHIR!!

[DetroitTigers]

I would probably pick up Lowell or Beltre to fill in at 3B until A-Rod gets back. I currently don't have another 3B.

My other SP are Lincecum, J. Johnson, Wainwright, Baker, Slowey, T. Hanson. Would i be giving up too much in this deal??

What are the keeper rules?

[DetroitTigers]

We get to keep 2 players each year. This year I've got Pujols and Hamilton.

I think both Shields and Price with Fielder is a bit much for Haren and about 2/3 of Arod, so I'd probably pass.

I like the deal, somewhat. Arod and Pujols in a 2 player keeper looks nice down the road. Risky to think ahead this early in a keeper, but for me, I like it.

I'm with DaShiz on this one: two of the top 3-5 players and arguably numbers 1 & 2? And with A-Rod and Hamilton, who's to stop you from trying for a Hanley or a Wright if you want?

Fielder is a tough loss for this year, but Price isn't a keeper for you, and he could have limited value this year (adjustment, limited IPs, etc), and Shields isn't as high on my list as he is for everyone else. I'm scared of his divisional opponents, and only two years ago, I picked him up and down from the wire all year with no competition for his services. Haren's the best pitcher here, and so long as you get A-Rod back as promised in mid-May, this could even be a win now move.
