This is a tough one, I would say no way if Utley wasn't going into the draft. How many years would you have Crawford? I'm leaning towards no because it definitely looks like you can win it all this year.

Can keep Crawford thru the end of NEXT season ... so basically one season of Utley and two of Crawford.

Alternately, do you like this deal more?

Give: Lind and Kubel
Get: Crawford and Fuentes

Lind, like Crawford, can be kept thru the end of the 2011 season.

I think I would pull the trigger on that one. You already have all the power you need, some Crawford speed would work wonders! Sucks to lose Kubel but it'd be worth it.
