Answer 1

Yes! You get arguably the best RP in baseball next to K-Rod, and a tremendus power hitter in Manny. Lets look at the comparisons....

Bay vs. Manny. Manny will just simpley out perfrom Bay any year. Manny also playes for the Red Sox, who have many other guys that will get on base, so Manny will get tons of RBI's. Bay playes for the Pirates, who are a very bad team overall.

Zambrano vs. Nathan. You have an ok RP staff. Nathan will boost that "ok" to a "great". He was the best RP last year, and should have a solid enough season this year. Zambrano is struggling right now, and he should heat up a little, but not much. He playes for the Cubs, who will get him some, but not a lot of run support, resulting in more losses. Plus, Zambrano playes every 4th or 5th day, where-as Nathan could play any day at any time.

So I would say, deffinately take this trade.

Answer 2

I would do that deal, Zambrano is in a contract year but hasnt really got out of the box, and Manny will end up putting up better numbers than Bay, plus Nathan is the top rated closer out there, so yes I would do that trade.

Answer 3

Definitely do this trade. You'll improve in OF. And for your SPs, u already have Peavy, Webb, Sabathia, and Felix. You can afford to loss Zambrano for a great closer. and u need another closer, so gettin Nathan is great.

Answer 4

I say DO IT! MANNY will outperform BAY this year, NATHAN is a STUD reliever, and ZAMBRANO is nice, but you already have PLENTY OF starting pitching.

DO IT! MAKE THE TRADE!

Answer 5

I would make it but instead of Ramirez try to get a backup catcher or better defensive outfielder.
