Need quick opinions on pitching trade please...

Side A gets Anibal Sanchez, Ricky Romero and Kuroda

Side B gets Ubaldo, Matt Cain and Matusz

Which side do you want for the rest of the season?

[OaklandA's]

I see more upside to Side B. Sanchez, Romero, and Kuroda are all decent pitchers, but not likely to become aces.

I like side A only because Jimenez's loss of velocity is pretty scary. Sanchez, Romero, and Kuroda are all very solid pitchers with pretty good strikeout rates - I doubt any of them would bite you in the butt for the rest of the year. Side B is definitely the riskier side since Matusz is fresh off an injury (and got lit up his last time out) and Ubaldo is iffy. Side B also has a bit more upside though.

If I had to rank them:

Romero
Cain
Kuroda
Ubaldo
Sanchez
Matusz

So I guess you want the side with 1, 3, 5.

I prefer A too.
