a little 2 for 1

[shawngee03]

to start the season off.....12 team, H2H, 5x5

ive been offered his manny for my markakis and matt cain

FA available that i would pick up: spilborgs, daniel murphy, ....glen perkins, david purcey, kyle davies(SPs im watching)

my SPs(they kind of suck, but its H2H and its early)
greinke, gil meche, dempster, matt cain, jonathan sanchez, john danks


i guess forst thing, is manny even better to have than markakis? and if so, enough better that matt cain is expendable. i wouldnt mind picking up daniel murphy to see if he can keep it going

thanks

i wouldnt do it...i think markakis is in for a really big season, and at worst if he hits his average marks from the last few seasons, you are looking at a .300, 20, 100, 15 or so season, which i dont see as too shabby...the difference in those numbers to manny is decent, but at the same time, i think losing cain is bigger than the difference between the OF's

id pass, but im a big fan of cain

Definitely keep Cain & Markakis.

The drop from Cain to any of the SPs you listed as available is too big to make this deal. I do think you'd gain about 15 homers and 20 RBI in the upgrade from Markakis to Manny (while losing about 15 SB), but the hit you'd take to your ERA/WHIP/K carrying Purcey/Perkins/Davies over Cain will hurt you more, I think.

Good luck!
