I have no prob giving up Upton or Haren, but Ibanez is killing it right now. Is there a chance you could get a closer tossed in? Im not sure on Bartlett's injury, but do you NEED Hanley? Overall, you get the best palyer and a really good SP, so I'd say pull the trigger.

dont do it ibanez shows no sign of slowing down

[Robert1977]

I'd pass on this one, though Ramirez is the best player in the deal. Ibanez is so valuable that, with Upton, you have to say the other team would come out ahead slightly. Is there a way you could get the other team to offer another player?

I am on the edge on this one. I would probably do it just because I don't see Haren staying healthy. You are getting the 2nd best player in baseball but giving up one of the hottest.

Help?

yeah but when ibanez hits 35 homers and drives in 130 your gonna be pissed

[clarkw267]

But I think I already got the best part of Ibanez' season, and Haren is a traditional 1st half stud.. then he crashes after the ASB.

Also I think Hanley hasn't been at his best yet.. and it's a KEEPER.. My keepers would be Pujols, Hanley, Braun, Sizemore, Santana, and Bills!

Thanks for the help w/ mine.
I agree wholeheartedly with your own assessment!! I don't see Ibanez matching his current pace for the rest of the season and Haren is a great sell high. Your keepers would be sick!!

[billycent]

Yeah, I like the trade. Ur keepers will be amazing. After the trade goes thru I would try and go out and get 1 more solid bat in another trade. U can plug in Ethier for sure but after that I don't know, not Lee the way he has been going so far. Thanx for the help on mine.

I would definitely do this trade. Ibanez is just hot right now and will come back down to earth. Sure he might hit 30 HR and have 100 RBI but he always does something close to that. He is just very consistent but he is getting up there in age and in a keeper especially you have to take Hanley and run. This is a great deal for you in my opinion. I dont know what the others are thinking who said dont do this. YOu are getting the best hitter and possibly the best pitcher in the trade! Do it.

please help
