I'd rather have Sizemore and Soria. Closers are always risky so go with the better hitter.

I never take a deal based on getting a better closer unless its from Capps to Broxton. Like Silver said, saves are risky to base true value on. Sizemore will bounce back, and you also add value to him because you can keep him a year longer.

Help me out...

Sizemore/Soria for me. Best player in the deal and able to be kept for longer. Broxton is a slight upgrade over Soria but both are as safe as they come in terms of closers so it really doesn't matter much IMO.

Hal·la·day, n. 1. every fifth day in Philadelphia. 2. a day of rest for the bullpen. 3. innings eater. 4. doc. 5. ace.

I keep Sizemore and Soria. Why downgrade in the OF for a bump in revilers? Not worth it.

The extra year of Sizemore is why that side of the deal is better.

Ya exactly. I like Sizemore much more than Granderson and you get him for an extra year. I don't think the difference between Broxton and Soria is much at all. Keep what you have.

ONLY reason I would not do it is the extra year. I'd personally rather have Granderson, I just dont believe in Sizemore, but the year makes all of the difference.

Sizemore has been beasting and feasting this Spring, and could be back to his 1st round production. Oh yeah and the extra year is huge.
