Which pitchers do you think will do the best/worst of the three?

Billingsley, Kazmir, or Shields?

I am trying to trade for Hanley Ramirez and Matt Capps

I will propose Carlos Quentin, Mark DeRosa/JJ Hardy/Adrian Beltre, and one of those three, I want to make sure I dont trade away the wrong pitcher.

A second, more subtle option for speed and RP is

Acquire BJ Upton and Matt Capps for Carlos Quentin, Paul Maholm, and either John Danks or Clayton Kershaw.

Who do you think will be better between Kershaw and Danks?

Billingsley is going to be the best out of those 3. If you can get Hanley and Capps for Kazmir, Quentin, Hardy, I'd do it quick. Any chance to get Hanley is a great chance. I wouldn't acquire Upton, I don't think he's going to run as much as last year.

For your last question, I'd go with Kershaw. Both are very similar, but Danks picthers half his games in the Cell. So Kershaw gets the nod for home park advantage.

Definitely Bills for the first question, and Shields/Kaz are close 2nd/3rd.

Kershaw and Danks are about the same for me, but Kershaw wins for upside so I would pick him.
