he also offered that trade with ray/bedard, hafner, hanley for utley and rocco baldelli (isntead of Chris Young)

Answer 1

To be honest...I'm not sure that is a trade I would make if I were the one getting Utley and Young.

Utley should without a doubt be the top 2nd baseman in the league, however, he won't put up exceptional numbers. Honestly, when it comes to my second baseman I look for a guy that will start everyday and bat around .290....those kinds of players aren't that hard to come by. So really, getting Utley in a deal really wouldn't be that important to me.

Young has the potential to be an incredible starter, but than past experience has taught me that potential is a dangerous thing. Young is just as his name implies. I realize that Bedard isn't an ace of the Baltimore staff but he is quite reliable.

I think the biggest thing for me is that you want too much...Hafner is among the top 10 offensive players in baseball (he'll put up better fantasy numbers than Utley, I'd guarentee it) and barring a sophomore slump, Ramirez should be a top 5 SS this year. I actually think his numbers will look a lot like Utley's did.

I definitly wouldn't trade Ray, Ramirez, and Hafner...it is easy to find a guy that will get saves, but it is dang near impossible to find one that you know will be there all season. Ray is one of those guys.

You can always propose it, and you should...it would be a great deal for you. If he is dumb enough to do it, than you'll have one heck of a team.

Answer 2

I would do it. Hafner is a beast. Ramirez is the real thing(46 doubles,11 triples,17 hrs,51 sb). Bedrad is coming into his prime. Plus if u get Cano 4 Furcal,ya team would be better

Answer 3

Utley makes it real tempting, but I feel like you would be giving up too much. You will need Ramierz as insurance to Furcal.

Answer 4

No
