I like the value you'll get back but you'll leave a big hole at 1B. I'd probably look to tweak the trade a little to acquire his current 1B.

Boy, that is tempting. I love Sandoval, but he's probably not a keeper, but you are turning Pujols into at least 3, maybe 4 keepers in return.

I do agree that getting a 1B in return would be nice, but with this value, you could figure that out later.

As hard as it is to trade AP, I'd do that deal. Besides the two huge keeper bats you get back, you get an upgrade at catcher (not that Doumit's a chump, himself), and Yovani becomes your ace from day 1. I'd do the deal, then try to move some players for an upgrade at 1b (not an elite guy, just an upgrade).

I never thought I would say to trade Pujols but this offer is too good to turn down. Take it and run and worry about a first baseman later.

please help

As bad as I hate trading Pujols, that is the type of deal that it takes to move Mr. Pujols. As long as you keep more then 2 players, I would definitely do that deal and land Braun and Longoria for the long run.
