Wouldn't do it. ARod is the best player in the deal but him and Markakis aren't really too far off. Billingsley is >>>>>>>>>>>> Myers.

Oof. Arod is good, but not that good. I would respectfully decline.

Decent offer but a little too much to give. Thanks for the help on mine.

no way

I wouldn't do it, I don't think you can afford to lose Bills

I would not make this deal. I don't like Arod at all this year because of his hip injury and with the whole steroids thing lingering over his head. I also don't like Brett Myers at all. Markakis/Bills are both studs in my mind. Thanks for your help with mine.

Agree with all the above posters for all their reasons.

No deal, especially if a keeper.

If you had a hole at 3rd and it was a 10 teamer I'd consider it, with your roster, I think you're better off sticking with what you have. Your pitching isn't good enough to absorb that type of loss.
