-Get an all world talent in Pujols
-Get a great source of steals & another top 10 SS in Furcal
-Give away a player at a position where I have depth (SS)-Get a great source of steals & another top 10 SS in Furcal
-Pujols has been unreal this spring, and appears ready for a huge season; unreal to the tune of a .407 Avg, 5 HR, 18 RBI, 1 SB, 11 BB, 2 K in only 59 AB. Wow.
-Pujols' health
-I'm still sitting on SS depth, although that's not necessarily a bad thing-If Pujols is healthy & produces (like he did in spring training), Swisher now has no place in my lineup
-I hate 2 for 1 deals where I'm on the 2 player side - usually this means you gave away the best player in the deal (although that may not be the case here)
-I hate 2 for 1 deals where I'm on the 2 player side - usually this means you gave away the best player in the deal (although that may not be the case here)
And quite simply, I think this makes my team stronger (although it is incredibly tough to give up the reigning NL MVP).
What do you all think? Please post your thoughts here; and I'm always up for answering reader questions - simply email me at rotoadvice@yahoo.com & I'll either devote a post to the question or respond via email.
