Answer 2

Oh god...here we go again.

Alright lets see now...

Trade 1, I like team A. I am not a Fielder fan at all and even though he's caught fire recently, I don't like him. For a 50 homer bat, getting 110 RBIs is really horrible to me. Gonzalez has shown he can hit in petco so I think that's a wash really. Manny is better than Dunn. I don't think I need to explain. Also, marcum has been stellar but I still like Sherrill because he's second in the AL in SVs and he's been very good. A mid tier closer is always better than a mid tier starter. So it's basically a wash at the 1B postiion but a upgrade for team A in the other 2 positions so I would like Team A in this trade.

In trade 1, I would take Team A also. Vmart hasn't done anything but Posada has that health risk so i would call that a wash even though I like Vmart more. Now I love Mark Teixiera and he is a second half guy so you're going to be getting most of his stats. Therefore, I think that's a wash but I would rather have Tex. 2B, obviously Utley is better but Kinsler is going to score a lot of runs and he's a great power speed combo. So advantage Utley. Then the OF/SP combo, i like team A. I know Young has like 1 homer but he still ahs the speed. Matsui is better but here is the thing that really tips it in A's favor. Halladay for Campillo. yea Campillo has a sub 1ERA but who thinks that's going to last? Halladay is a fantasy ace. So big advantage there.

This is close but I still like Team A because Campillo is basically a throw in.

Now see with Maine, it is a WHOLE different scenario. With Maine, it is much closer and puts me personally in a tough tough position because i think the C position is a wash. But I love Tex and now is the time to get him because I would not be surprised if he hits 30 more homers from now and since when you trade, you start from 0, Tex got some major value. ahh so d**n tough. With Maine, I think i would take side B because Maine is a legitimate number 3 guy that you can trust day in and day out. With Maine, i like B but by the slightest margin. Can't go wrong either way.
