Ryan Zimmerman+ for Andre Eithier+? ALL HELP RETURNED

[theblemishedone]

I won't analyze this trade because many of the brethren above me already did that.

I would do it. You get Pap (who I am not a fan of, but he is pitching in a contract year, so he'll prolly pitch his nuts off), Zimm (all of these abdominal injuries are worrying me.) He prolly won't be back for about 2 weeks, but once he does get back, everybody's production will go up in that lineup.

Granderson will beat his last year's stats and he's a good sub for Ethier , especially @ Yankee Stadium.

I took Hudson out of the deal and replaced him with Granderson.

So now the deal is:

I give Andre Eithier, Alex Gordon, Jordan Zimmerman

I get Ryan Zimmerman, Jonathan Papelbon, Curtis Granderson

I could live with that, don't you think?

Yes, I agree, this is much better (it goes back to what I mentioned about your OF earlier...you would be losing two big pieces). So getting Granderson will definitely be an advantage for you and make this a W for you. Also, in response to what was said earlier about Polanco/Bloomquist..I don't think that having to play Polanco is bad at all (granted I am a Phillies fan), just look at his numbers and there will be NO reason to be hesitant to have him in your lineup; Bloomquist on the other hand would probably turn out to be a risky every day play. But still, yes the addition of Granderson is a HUGE addition for you.

Thanks all. I couldn't get him to bite and he traded Zimmerman away to another guy in exchange for Dan Haren.

Oh well. Thanks for the help.
