How did I do?

[QStar]

I traded:
Mauer - not retainable
Mcgowan
BJ Ryan
F.Lopez
Podsednik
German
D.Cabrera

for

Ian Kinsler
Embree
Ianetta
Dewitt
Crede
S.Hairston
R.Soriano

Basically, I see it as a rental of Mauer for the rest of the year, + Mcgowan $8 and Ryan $10 in 2009 for Kinsler $26 in 2009.

We keep 8 and my other keepers are: Votto, Hamilton, Ankiel, Billingsley, Kershaw, Gallardo and Broxton.

Got rid off all of your Jays, eh? Dont\' blame you, lol.

Since you only keep 8 and Kinsler (who I really like) rounds out your top 8, I really like this trade for you. The Mcgowan/ryan part hurts a bit but to get a guy like Kinsler, who\'s great all around, you got to pay a price.

Good deal, qstar!

Another trade offe came in,

Basically, I would give up:

Mauer - unkeepable
Billingsley - keepable for 2 years
Ryan - keepable for 2 years


for

Brandon Phillips for 2009 only

Am I better off with Mcgowan $8 + Phillips $14 or Billingsley $14 + Kinsler $26 for 2009 only.

Billingsley is so much better than McGowan. I think I\'d spend the extra money and keep Billingsley and get Kinsler. If the money wasn\'t a factor, it would be a no brainer.
