Should I ask how you got PUjols and Ramirez on the same team?

I'd hate to trade Pujols away, but you're need is pitching and anytime you can get Santana, I think you get him. Do the trade involving Santana. Steals are at a premium this year and Hanley is that good.

Edit: see if you can switch Haren for Burnett though.

keep what you have for now...

if he really wants Pujols or Hanley he will come paying later in the season when they are doing what they do. If one of them starts off really hot you can get more that what you're getting now anyways...

i would not do either of those trades if i was in your position.

I'd keep what you have. Pujols and Ramirez are by far the best players in those deals. Santana is good, but don't overpay.

If that's all your getting as far as offers go, I'd just keep Pujols and Hanley, plus Bumgarner who is the best pitching prospect in baseball not counting Price.
