You should be able to get more than that for Crawford and Zambrano or Carpenter. Cruz is on an incredible hot streak, but he lacks experience and has shown durability issues in the past.

With the way Crawford is playing, you should be able to get a more proven player.

I totally agree. Do not do that trade, you can get much more, and if you pull the trigger on that trade you will regret it.

No way, no how. Get proven power for Crawford - not Nelson Cruz.

Please provide feedback for mine.

No way in heck. Crawford himself can win you SB category almost every single week. You should only trade him for a first round player, not Nelson Cruz!

Please help me back. viewtopic.php?t=387267

I wouldn't do that deal. You can get a better power bat for Crawford if you wanted to trade him...aim higher.

Let me know your thoughts...
