i wouldn't do any of these deals. kinsler is more valuable than what you'd get in the first deal, even with sizemore thrown in. i just couldn't give up kinsler this year. now, the 2nd deal is worth considering. billingsley is going to be one of the top 5 pitchers this year likely, and he's on a good team. however, vlad is on the DL right? i'd check on that injury before doing the deal.

Absolutely not on trade #1.

Second trade. Looks like Vlad will be out for about a month. I would do the deal.
Billingsly will get more run support than Haren. Vlad>Fowler.

good luck

thanks for help with mine

I agree with the people above me. Kinsler is more valuable than Sizemore, nevermind Kinsler AND Nelson Cruz. And Cliff Lee is proving that last year was somewhat of a fluke.

Again, I would also do the second deal. Billingsley is turning out to be a stud and Vlad is just icing on the cake.

I would definitely not do the first deal for the reasons stated above, and an additional factor is I am still not as high on Sizemore as everyone else seems to be.

I would not do the third deal either, but I could see you doing it if you think Konerko will continue to have a bounce back year.

As for the third deal, I think it is somewhat of a wash in that I don't know how much you will get from Vlad (even after his injury) and think Haren is still slightly better than Bills.

Can you help with mine (I don't know how to leave a link but it is a post earlier today involving a trade with Lowe/Konerko/Cameron)? Thanks.

Big NO on trade #1.

I think I would do trade #2. Taking a risk on Vlad coming back healthy, but if it pays off, it pays off big.

Thanks for your help.

You definatly reject the first one. The second one is close. Bills and Haren could go either way. Vlad is getting old and is on the dl now for about a month. If you have faith in Vlad and think he can bounce back then take the deal if not then reject it aswell.

Agree with some of those above me:

I would pass on deal one, because you're giving up too much. I'm not a fan of Lee and think that could hurt as the year goes on.

However, I like deal too. Vlad is banged up and out a while.

Please help me:
