In a keeper league especially, this is an easy call. The Sizemore/Gallardo side wins by 5 miles. Do it.

Help please

I say no and here is why. I do not believe that Kaz is this type of pitcher. He will return to form. On the other side you are getting two unproven talents in Cruz and Gallardo. I look at it like this. If I were you would I trade Bay and Kaz for Cruz and Gallardo since I think Sizemore and Granderson are similar. There is no way I do that deal.

Thanks for helping with mine, much more than just a yeah or no response with good analysis, much appreciated.

Sizemore offers more overall OFF that Bay, and that's the deal breaker here. 30/30 guys are rare, so i take this deal.

Thanks!

Sizemore is a rare talent.. lock him up if you can.

Wow, this is a tough one. I'm wondering if you'd even keep any of these guys. If you make the deal, I'd assume you'd keep Sizmore, Wright, Billingsley, Peavy, and Pedroia. I guess I'd do it so you'd have a better keeper in Grady. I do like Gallardo a tad more than Kazmir, and Granderson a lot better than Cruz. I think you do give up a tad more this year, but you'll be better off down the road.

Heres mine

I like Gallardo much more than Kaz. IMO he's a top 10 SP. I know the drop from Granderson to Cruz is substantial, but Sizemore is one of the top keepers available. I don't see how you don't make this trade.
