2B Felipe López
3B Chris Davis
SS Jimmy Rollins
OF Nelson Cruz

OF Hunter Pence
OF Carlos Beltrán

I dont do the deal, Figgins is great for sb but what happens when pitchers actually stop walking the guy and force him to hit? I hold on to Soria and look elsewhere for sb, especially since you got a-roid coming back soon.

Soria is a top 5 closer, you can do better than Figgins for him.

Help?

Thanks for the help on mine. I think you can do better. Soria is a top end closer and Figgins is a slightly above average 3B. With ARod coming back sometime, you can afford to look at other positions for SB's as well. Might be cheaper to find one there. I'd look to deal one of your lesser closers for a cheaper source of SB's if you need them. It becomes too easy to overpay for them.

Well, I'm going to disagree with everyone. Figgins is a valuable player in more that SB's, and you have enough closers. Go for it.
