wow...i really dont know it is all so dependent on Hanley heating up. I think i would maybe stay put even though as a fellow Reynolds owner I am concerned about his quad

Reynolds will be fine. He tweaks this same injury all the time and plays fine with it. It just keeps him from stealing bases and going first to third. His manager thinks he can play through it with a DL stint and Lord knows they need his bat right now.

Still I like this trade...Hanely always has hot summers and Werth is a stud.

Although Fielder typically has hot summers too.

You're getting Hanley Ramierez, and not overpaying. Anytime this criteria is met, you've got to go for it.

Please help: viewtopic.php?t=413897
Looking forward to back to back championships in 2011!

Don't counter. Accept. You're not addressing any sort of categorical need (although losing Reynolds for Young will really help your average). You're just overall improving from this trade.

I'd take this trade. Fielder has me a bit concerned and you are getting a great value for him in this deal. Your team is taking on Werth who I'm high on and Hanley who needs no explanation. Your team instantly gets better. Take it.
