YES!
Zorilla > Pedroia
CC is a 2nd half stud.
Granderson has yet to step it up (but he probably will, so you will lose some value there).
You have planty of OF pop and depth.
Adding a RP would be valuable.

tahnks.

[amarlls]

you rank zobrist higher than pedroia?

[amarlls]

anyone else?

OK, Zobrist is not better than Pedroia.

CC is a second half monster. I look at the deal like this:

Pedroia for Zobrist- decent downgrade
Granderson for Hawpe - not sure if Granderson hasn't lost it, and this is not as big a drop as you'd think
Zito for CC - Monster upgrade.
Corpas for Valverde - solid upgrade in the pen, though I would almost never call acquiring a closer anything other than a solid upgrade if that.

So, 2 decent downgrades, a monster upgrade, and a solid upgrade. If you need more pitching than offense, go for it.

I'd do it. Pedroia is slightly better than Zobrist but Sabathia is a great starter with a history of having great second halves. Granderson is a really huge risk right now even when healthy.

[amarlls]

If he will only throw in CC and zobrist for my grandy and pedroia, taking out valverde. Should I still do this or stay put?

[philaphan]

I would try the deal with Valverde first. I still might do the deal if he says no with Velverde. Love the upgrade you get in pitching with CC. CC normal gettings better as the year goes on. Zobrist is a slight down grade from Pedroia but I like Zobrist because he can be used in mutiple positions. It gives you flexibility if someone gets hurt!

I would definitely do that deal.
