You have a decent replacement at 2B between Ramirez and Lopez, and Markakis would be a nice boost at OF especially considering Soriano's struggles. I would definitely consider it although if you're doing it more due to his need than yours you might want to take that into consideration as well

Yeah, I'd do the deal. Makaris and Ramirez >> Phillips and slumping OF(soriano/bruce).

I would definitely think hard about this offer. You've got very good depth at 2nd with Ramirez and Lopez but I really like Phillips. Try Ramirez first and see if they'll take that (although you can use Ramirez at SS as well...). I'd also shop Phillips around to see how much a very good 2B is worth around the league.

yes do this deal, then maybe you can look to trade soriano for a pitcher.

good luck.

Definitely jump on this. Markakis will provide a nice boost to your OF with Soriano having some trouble. Also, Markakis does well in the second half historically. I think you have the depth at 2B to make this move.

I'd do it quickly. Jose Lopez is having a good season, and Ramirez is a nice replacement there as well... and you have Lopez if Ramirez is out for any length of time.

Make it happen and benefit from Markakis in the 2nd half.
