I would do trade #2, but not trade #1. Trade 2 favors you for sure, while trade 1 doesn’t do much for you.

Id accept the second trade. An outfield w/ Sizemore, Vlad and Ichriro would be good. Matt Cain is a good pitcher but the Giants dont help him much. So id accept the second trade.
deal and deal
I would not accept the first trade.
I would accept the second trade. Ichiro would provide a high batting average and runs and steals. Matt Cain is good since he has a 3.39 ERA, but he is only 2-9 and gets no run support. Manny is having a good season, but he’s not a fantasy stud.
