Trade My Braun and R.Zimmerman -for- Morneau and Abreu ?

Postby Maris09 » Fri Apr 03, 2009 8:39 pm

Kinda worried a little about Braun and his nagging oblique. Those things tend to linger. Should I make this deal?

I would keep what you have. Not a fan of Abreu and I think Zimmerman should rebound nicely. Don't worry too much about Braun.

Definitely not! If you were to ever trade Braun I'd expect a around a 20-30th ranked player and a mid-30 ranked player. No less.

I'd keep Braun. I know he had rib cage issues last year and struggled with it, but don't trade your top stud this early in the season. The return you're getting is just OK, but nothing really outstanding.

He offered to include Barmes. Since I already have Ian Stewart he might be a little helpful. Still don't love it though.
