I agree. Don't trade him unless it is a blockbuster that upgrades you at multiple positions.

you should really ask this person to not disrespect you in such a manner and to not bother you with foolish suggestions until he's ready to put something real on the table..

yeah, that doesn't sound like he "really wants cabrera"...it sounds like he "wants cabrera for nothing".

Lol, ya I am in no rush to dump cabrera. I was in no way going to accept either of these trades as I rejected them prior to posting.

Okay this guy has offered me like 7-8 different trade scenarios and I have declined all of them. Let me know what you think about the latest and greatest.

Longoria / Pence for Cabrera / Hunter

I like that cabrera can play 1st and 3rd so that weighs a bit on my decision. I drafted pence last year and he was mediocre at best. I am a huge houston fan and I think Pence is probably a bit better than Hunter but the difference is negligible.

Wow, that last one is purely insulting.

Tell him to put up or shut up. You need a replacement 3B (Longoria) and a 1st rounder (Sizemore) at minimum in any deal you make.

Deal should be, at minimum, Miggy+X for Longoria+Sizemore, where X < Sizemore.

You don't HAVE to make a deal. If he wants Miggy, he has to offer you better than what you have staying put.

you have no reason to trade m-cab. sounds like he is not going to give you strong enough value for him, so move on and enjoy having him on your team. he will likely outproduce is ADP.

That's not good enough for Cabrera. I really don't think you should give him up unless you're overwhelmed, which isn't likely to happen considering his chips. Maybe ask Longoria/Shields for Cabrera/Slowey. He'll likely reject it, but I wouldn't trade Miggy for much less than that. Good luck

I would have to say he loses this deal by a wide margin. I'm sure the other owner would accept that in a heart beat.
