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
C- Suzuki
1B- Votto
2B- Kinsler (Uggla)
3B- Aram
SS- Tulowitzki
OF- JUpton, Pence, Hawpe
UTIL- Butler

SP- Lincecum, J Johnson, Ubaldo, Wandy, Baker, Shields
RP- Capps, Thornton, Betancourt

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.

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.
