I put Braun on the market to see what kind of offers I would recieve. I am worried with of Braun's spring training injuries and the side injury issue really worries me for the entire season.
Well here are some of the offers I received:
1)Sizemore for Braun (Straight UP) 2)Teixeira/Manny for Braun/Ortiz 3)Hamilton/R. Howard for Braun/Berkman 4)Puljols/Soriano for Braun/Berkman/Posada 5)Utley/Kemp for Braun/Ortiz
#3 was pulled and the owner updated the offer with..Utley/Lincenum/Shields for Braun/Peavy/Kazmir....the owner also said he is willing to replace Shields with Lester!!!! What do you guys think
What deal...if any would be worth it to make! WHIR!!!!!!
If I went with deal #4 I would pickup Iannetta on as a FA.
Here is my team:
Head2Head 5X5 C:Posada 1b:Berkman 2b:Kendrick 3b:Atkins SS:Jeter OF:Braun, Crawford, Quentin Util:Ortiz BN: Ibanez, Beltre, Hawpe, Kelly Johnson SP:Peavy, Kazmir, Grienke, Danks, C. Young BN: E. Santana, Moote

If you do decided to trade Braun, I think the 5th trade is best for your team. Your weakest offensive player is your 2b. Don't get me wrong, Hendrick is good but has yet to play a full season. Getting Utley solves that problem and you get Kemp who could give you 30/30 close to .300 avg is a plus.
UPDATED.......the owner of trade #3 pulled the offer and updated the offer with..Utley/Lincenum/Shields for Braun/Peavy/Kazmir....the owner also said he is willing to replace Shields with Lester!!!!
