I kinda like it for you. Can't say I'm overwhelmed by the deal, but I like Ethier better than Blanks, and I'd personally take Liriano's upside over DeLaRosa, and I think that Jackson is just a poor man's CarGo. So, if you want the more proven "power" bat in Ethier over the "proven" speed guy in CarGo, then I'd say do it.

thoughts on mine?

I don't really think you need to do this. I'd stay put.
CarGo and Blanks are still super young and plus talents. With your aces, you don't really need to improve SP.

I like it...

Why do I feel like I've already answered this question today? Deja-vu?

He's thrown many different offers my way ... the downside here is that he used to offer Cain but has since changed his mind a fair amount.

Its a good deal nontheless...
