I was thinking I could move one of them to first base but which one? Or should I move one of them to third? Opinions?

Your defense is going to be hurt but you should put Lee at first. Too slow for the outfield. I would get a 2B with tons of range to cover up Lee's weakness. Kind of like how Pedroia ate up every ball when Sox played Ortiz at 1B earlier in the year.

You trade veterans for young guys? To me, ehhhhhhhh C.C. isn't young. Since when is Manny Ramirez young?

This is a thread for trade discussion. We are giving you our take on the trade. Would you like us to lie and tell you "Great job man."? It's just our opinion's. Don't take things so seriously.

It's not the strategy we're criticizing...it's the players u've involved in each trade that we're criticizing...sorry that was for the other guy...not u

Who do you suggest I should get to cover ground at 2nd base?

Do you really think the Yanks would part with Gardner, to the O's no less? I'd imagine the Yanks would want to be blown away in a deal.

In just about every sim franchise they trade him in a package for Carlos Lee. Now me, I wouldn't trade him away. He's better than Crawford and cheaper to boot.

Orlando Hudson, Pedroia, Aaron Hill. Just look for guys with "reaction" attribute high, those guys can cover it all.

Ok, I think I'll try Hudson because in my old Padres chise I loved playing with him.
