Honestly i don't know why in the world you would do this trade.





Your trading a 1st/2nd rounder in Ortiz, a Possible 4th rounder in Verlander, and a 10th rounder in Zimmerman for a good outfielder in Byrnes, for 3 scrubs who are just doing good as of now. Ankiel, Bannister, %26amp; Wolf will eventually come back down to earth. These 3 would be great pickups as free agents but your giving 2 great players and a decent player for a good player and people who are hot as of now.





Essentially this is a 3 for 1 deal, Ortiz, Zimmerman, %26amp; Verlander for Byrnes. While Ortiz, Zimmerman %26amp; Verlander are all of to slow starts they have been consistent over the past years. Why would you want to trade consistency for players who are hot right now?





Ortiz has averaged 43 HR's, .309 AVG, and 135 RBI's since joining the Red Sox. Verlander has a combined record of 35-17 and 314 K's in the '06, %26amp; '07 seasons. The Tigers bats are just starting to heat up and you should expect more run support from a potent Tigers lineup when Granderson returns. Zimmerman is a good hitter who should smack 25-30 HR's this year with 100 + RBI's and a .270 AVG. Although struggling now, Much more consistent than Ankiel.





I hope you don't make this trade. Your players have plenty of time to heat up later on in the year. Your players are going to get better as the season progresses, while his will get worse. Think about the long haul, Consistency? Or Players who are doing good now but will get worse?





Hope this helped! Good luck this year!!
