No. You're not gaining enough in pitching to warrant giving up Braun. If you're giving TOP -5 OF, you should expect to see a significant improvement in your staff with that trade. I would say no. With the Mets and Reds spinning out of control and Price looking more like a dominant closer than pitcher, it's a risk.

With that said, if Vlad comes back beating the hell out of the ball, then you might be able to lose Braun.

Help with mine?

What about if I substitute Price for Quentin, granderson, Lind?? So then im getting back solid OF

[amarlls]

Guys of interest on his team are Russell Martin, Phillips, Bay, Granderson, Lind, Ludwick, quentin, Galardo, Greinke, Hanson, Johan

[amarlls]

Would asking Braun and Johnson for his Johan, Hanson, Granderson(for more speed) or Quentin be asking too much?

NOOOO

[amarlls]

or maybe if its even possible ethier and johnson for johan and hanson?? Let me know which one or if there are any better options there you guys may be able to come up with

^^^obviously if you could do ethier and johnson for johan and hanson, you'd be slaughtering... The other deals are kinda not enough for braun --- him and johan are close enough in value, I see no reason for you to have to give up more (esp. johnson) to get johan.

thanks for the help with mine.

pass. johan for braun is fair, but when you add in josh johnson for harang and price it's way too much to give.

i'd counter with braun, uggla and johnson for johan, phillips, and one of price, harang or a backup quality outfielder(not granderson, lind, bay or quentin for example).

I also don't see that owner going for ethier and johnson for johan and hanson. ethier, pierzynski, johnson for johan, russell martin and either price or harang would work as well, if you believe in martin for the 2nd half.
