I Put Braun on the market & Offers...UPDATED!!..WHIR!

Postby philaphan » Thu Apr 02, 2009 8:41 pm

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

You can't go wrong with any of those really. Personally I like the Pujols deal.

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.

I'd have a hard time with this one as well; all five are good offers, but I'd personally take the Utley/Kemp deal.

Cant go wrong with the best player in the game; take Pujols along with a great power/speed threat in Soriano.

That just became a no-brainer. Either way, Shields or Lester (I can't give you an unbiased opinion as a Sox fan), take this newest offer.
