What about this blockbuster trade??

Question

I give up Utley, Juan Pierre, Adam Wainwright, Harden and Carl Crawford to get Chipper, Magglio, Dan Uggla, Ted Lilly and Carlos Zambrano. Should I do it??

Answer 1

I would do it, crawford is hurt.

Answer 2

go for it, ugglas killing now, chipper too

Answer 3

Do it, no doubt. Chase Utley is surging like crazy right now, and yes, he will give you a whole lotta homers and rbi. Crawford and Pierre gives you a good amount of steals, but thats not the real concern right now. Ted Lilly ain't good at all this season, but the matter is that he is still one of the Cubs' better starters, and I look forward to more wins deeper into the season. Harden is injury prone, and he's still performing like an ace even tho he just got off the DL a few weeks ago, but there's no real promise that he'll stay healthy the rest of the season. Chipper, Magglio Ordonez, and Dan Uggla all produce good numbers offensively, while Zambrano can help your pitching staff a lot, replacing Harden by a lot. Do this trade.

Answer 4

That's tough because you give up practically all your steals and you give up the best player right now, Utley.  I don't trust Uggla, the guy hit 245 last year!  But, you do upgrade in practially every other position, Chipper's red hot, Maggs is a solid 1st OFer, and Lilly and Zambrano top Wainwright and Harden any day.  You should do it, Crawford and Pierre are weak outside of SBs and Harden's never going to be healthy.

But I would be concerned about SBs, since you'll only have ellsbury to rely on

Answer 5

Utley is having another stellar season while, he is very important to your team since he has the most pop for a 2B. Juan Pierre is doing well, after platooning in the begging of the year, with the young outfielders in the Dodgers system (Kemp, Either). But he gets on base, and he does give you SB's. Crawford is a very solid outfielder who i believe has always been under rated cause of the team he has played on. He gives many stolen bases also. Chipper though is having an amazing season, Uggla is another pop 2b though not at all as good and unable to carry his team like Utley. Lilly and Zambrano are solid pitchers. while Magglio could have another stellar season. It seems very even trade some how.

Answer 6

yes. utley is your only reliable man, magglio and uggla will bring in better numbers

i think ur choice

Answer 7

It completely matters on your team. If you need improvement in power and starting pitching and can afford to get rid of some speed, then this is a great trade. Most likely, this is a good trade for you. But if you have something like Beckett, Kazmir, Santana, and Peavy or something like that, Z will be no help.
