Huge 4 player trade.....A little Advice?

Question

i would be giving-Rich Harden-carlos Pena

I would recieve - Kelly Johnson-Dan Haren

theres more upside than downside but i would lose a closely above average backup 1B to albert pujols i have-which everybody knows his elbow could snap at any second,and its so hard to find good hitting 1B-but i would be recieving a huge upgrade from escobar to johnson and an even one in harden to haren.Should i do it?

Answer 1

Definetly go with it. Huge upgrade to your team with this trade.

Answer 2

Dont do that trade???

Answer 3

no take a risk and keep harden possbile cy young guy if he ever keeps healty.

Answer 4

DO THE TRADE!!! Don't worry about Pujols. Johnson is going to get you RBIs and AVG. and is, like you mentioned, an upgrade compared over Escobar. Plus I would rather have Haren than Harden any day. Harden is an injury risk while Haren is a top 10 pitcher. Do the trade, you WON'T regret it.

Plus, there's bound to be a good 1B in free agency. Votto, Jacobs, etc. So don't worry about 1B and Pujols.

Answer 5

No no no no no.  Pujols is good, and pena is good as well.  And personally i think harden is better.

Answer 6

Do it!  Trust me, if Albert breaks, you'll have stuff like Casey Blake, Aaron Boone, Lyle Overbay, Kevin Millar, or whatever to pick up. You're getting a heckuva deal here
