If you have a suitable replacement at first base, then I would do this. Post your roster because I'm afraid this will make you outfield heavy and the true upgrade you get with Dunn and Crawford may not be worth it.

I agree. Tex for Crawford could go either way depending on your team needs, and Dunn over Hardy is a huge upgrade in your Util.

Thank you for responding to my post......

I would make this trade in a heartbeat! You in a sense get 2 studs for 1 (I could care less about Hardy Har)!!!

You also have Howard at 1B so this is a no brainer.....take Ethier out of the OF position, put the red hot Crawford in and put the bigtime Dunn at your Util spot!

Nice going!

I like this deal...Crawford's stolen bases are HUGE and Dunn will get you the power numbers comparable to Tex's.

Thanks for the help with mine!

I would take the deal. It's not a complete no brainer, but it's close. You definitely come out way on top in this one.
