I love this deal for you, simple.

yea same here...a great upgrade for you at 2nd, i would pull the trigger. I dont think johnson is much of a loss here, and bruce/upton will fill in your outfield nicely.

That trade looks very nice for you.

Simple? You call this simple? It's a vastly complex situation with ramifications that could shake the pillars of heaven...

Aw, who am I kidding. Do this before he sobers up.

Call me crazy but I probably wouldn't do this trade. I think Manny is a top-notch OF and will be missed if you trade him. Dustin is a great 2B, but if Kendrick can stay healthy, he produce similar numbers. Obviously Dustin will get more RBI and Runs because where he hits, but I think Kendrick will be a good player this year. I'm not uber high on Bruce, so it might influence my factor in this deal.

If I look at this at a draft position value-wise. You should take it. Dustin and Manny go at the same round while Bruce is drafted much higher than RJ. I just think you don't need to make this deal since Kendrick is a pretty good 2B.
