Is this offer smart and okay? WHIR!!

Postby woowoo crew » Fri May 15, 2009 8:20 pm

I give: Hank Blalock, Justin Upton, Aramis Ramirez, and Chris Iannnetta
I get: Chris Davis, Adam Jones, Erik Bedard

OR

I give: Hank Blalock, Justin Upton, Chris Iannetta
I get: Chris Davis, Adam Jones

The guy put Andre Ethier on the trading block, but I'd rather target Adam Jones. Should I accept Ethier if he counters either of the above? (He wants a catcher and a 3B. He tried to get Aramis from me 2 weeks ago.)
Would you rather have Ethier or Jones?

My team:
C: McCann
1B: Votto
2B: Hill
3B: Sandoval
SS: Alexei
IF: Blalock
OF: Soriano, Sizemore, Bruce, Cruz
UTIL: Francouer
Bench: Stephen Drew, Aramis, Justin Upton, Iannetta

SP: Volquez, Vazquez, Garza, Slowey, Cain
RP: Broxton, Fuentes, Francisco, Bailey
Bench: Lilly

I would may be do the first offer. I don't like the second offer for you. Honestly you may be better off not doing either.

I think Adam Jones offers more than Upton but not enough to make the deal good. Upton struggled early on but he has great potential. Blalock and Davis are equal in my opion.

I think the best option may be to stand pat!

Stay pat, I really don't like Chris Davis and I think your giving too much Aram will pick it up when he gets back, your selling him way to short. Thanks for the Help.

My bad...I would rather have Ethier. Still not sure I would do the deal though. The addition of Bedard will help your staff. But I think I would stand pat.



I just saw your newest offer. I would do that deal!

I don't like any of the offers actually. I would rather keep what you have than get Davis and company.

thanks for your help with mine
