I'd stay with Pence. IMO, he's more valuable to your team than Cain. You're pitching is already pretty solid.

I'd make the move. I think in the first half of the season you should be concerned mainly about value while putting your team needs on the back burner. Cain is an upgrade over Pence if you ask me...

help me out?

I'd do it and just use Pierre in util until manny is back. I think it will end up working out for you in the long run.

Not sold on Cain or Sherrill, am sold on Pence. If he had a better closer than Sherrill I would do the deal, as it stands, I would pass.

Keep Pence, he's a 5 tool guy. Cain and Sherrill, lose-lose.

How is Cain a lose? 8-o

He's a good young pitcher and I think he has equal value to pence

in a 10 teamer good hitters are probably still on the wire - i would probably take Cain if you need pitching help or aim higher first and see what happens - quality is most important in a 10 teamer

It's a fair trade, but I'm not a big believer in Cain. Don't have any facts to support my position, just a hunch.

Can you help with mine? viewtopic.php?t=385435
