ummm, no.

K-Rod is your only guaranteed closer this year … Gonzalez is on a new team and Texas seems to be pissing their pants over having Gagne as the closer.

Sizemore is a much better fantasy player than Crawford. Carl might get more steals, but Sizemore will take him in other categories.

Where are you going to put Prince Fielder in your lineup? You’ve got Pujols at first, and Helton as the utility.

Zambrano just might win the Cy Young this year…

BAD BAD BAD trade.

No way. Trade one of your 1b if you think you need to improve your OF. You already have 3 1B why would you want another one.

I would shop Gordon. somone will overpay for him. he will be solid but there is a big difference between being a front runner for ROY and being a top fantasy producer. it will take him a couple of year to get there.

No way!. Between Pujols, Atkins, and Sizemore alone, you will have solid run production this season. At the very least, Crawford and Sizemore negate each other. Abreu is nursing a sore Quad muscle (the kind of injury that hampered Trot Nixon most of last season). He may be ready in April, but one has to wonder if that will hurt him.
Plus, you are giving up a good starting pitcher and closer, without getting any pitching in return. Pitching is harder to find on the waiver wire than hitters. There are always a few surprises called up from the minors that can produce offensive stats for you. Look at Jeff Franceour, Ryan Howard, and Nick Markakis from last season…

No way. Pitching is too important to trade for Abreu and Fielder………….their numbers this year could be bad or good. Stick with the pitchers and keep Sizemore, he gets better every year.

Absolutely not! You won’t sit Albert so Fielder is a waist to you unless there is another trade for him. Crawford is over rated every year. Be is a little above average but the hipe on him is too much. Abreu is already hurt and an oblique can linger throughout the year. You already have the best side of the deal by a lot, don’t do it!!!!!
