Well if you need power I would go the way of Braun as he matures he will hit more and more homers... If your team needs speed I would look to Sizemore for the next few years.... I honestly like Braun side better...

Guys. My roster is posted in the original e-mail. For those you making comments like, I'd do it if you can afford to give up SBs, etc. I'd love to get your opinions on this as well.
I'm really hung up on the whole Sizemore vs Braun as a keeper aspect (i.e., who's a better keeper). Did you know Braun only has 8 hrs? He hasn't hit one for weeks! That worries me a bit. He also hit well below .300 last season...so am I really getting a batting avg upgrade (long-term)?
I think your best option obviously would be to try and get Nathan, if that's not an option I guess it really depends on what kind of starters are out there on the waiver wire right now. Personally I'd probably go with Wilson simply because it's easier to find adequate SP on the wire. I also like the Braun side better, I simply don't think Sizemore will bat much better than .270, I see him as a much better version of Mike Cameron, has power, has speed, just doesn't seem to be able to maintain a BA around .300. Braun is batting .315 this season, .285 last season, and .324 the season before. He will be a significant inprovement in that category.

1) Any concern about Braun's modest power numbers so far? 2) Do you truely believe Braun can hit over .300 (he hasn't in the past)? 3) Am I better off making this trade instead - GIVE) Hamilton/Carpenter/Zobrist FOR Beltran/Cano/ E.Jackson?
