Of those offers I would take A. However I would try to trade Teixeira for better middle infielder instead of Drew. That seems to be the weakest spot on your team.

Oh, Drew is just there until Utley is healthy again
and yes, i'm leaning towards strasburg, except that i am currently 1st in the league and strasburg won't be around during the playoffs, which means i'll be trying to win a championship without tex?
but i'll probably have utley back by then, so the loss shouldn't be huge... this makes my head hurt lol

If thats the case I wouldnt make the trade then. Why build your team to win next year when you already have a great shot to do it now?

Like your team the way it is. Don't give up Tex and force Dunn to 1b which would hurt your OF, even if Jones UTL is Adam.
The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be!
