i was offered........berkman,d roberts,o cabrera...

for
abreu,payton,c izturis

im playing against 2 sheas and a petco in my div so LOTS of LH pitching....and i have l castillo at 2b.. so using cabrera at ss isnt too bad..

and also as of right now im using abreu in Rf with sheffield as my DH...
i can us eberkman instead of abreu in the OF..

also im playing in miller park...

thanks for any advice

Hey goredsox!

Looks pretty one-sided in his favor.

Abreau is a #1 pick and is very hard to get (fantastic leadoff hitter)!

Izturis is the best fielding SS in the set.

Why would you want to give up either?

because i have have no power , especially against Rh pitching .....and berkman will hit alot more HR's than abreu...and i already have burke,freel,castillo setting the table.......and also i dont want to play abreu in the OF

You would be giving up too much in this deal. Don't do it. If you are wanting power against RHP then trade Sheffield instead of Abreu and put Abreu as your DH. This sounds closer to a good deal to me.

Couldn't agree more with what everyone said. Berkman will go to waste in the 2 Sheas and Petco against lefthanded pitching.

No way.

I had Berkman in Petco...with Abreu. I did ok. But I agree with everyone else...you'd be losing more than you gain.

I'm in this division with Gored Sox...I think Delgado, Pickering, and Carlos Pena are all available to play 1B rather than Shawn Green...might be an easier and less painful upgrade in power versus losing his 1s at SS and 2B (he's got Castillo and Izturis up the middle :shock: )...

There could be some $$$ gained to make this happen by moving down from either Nathan or Rincon in the pen or Sheffield in RF...

Just one possible suggestion...
