I am currently looking for the best deal for Miguel Tejada.

I just wanted to get your take on these 2 deals.

Miguel Tejada 1st round pick
                  for
MIguel Cabrera

                  or
Miguel Tejada
        for
Carlos Zambrano Felipe Lopez Eddie Guardado

Cory:

Reed, it depends on your needs and why you are dealing Tejada. Dealing him straight up for Cabrera deal is essentially fair value, but what does that gain you? A little less power for a little higher average, a shortstop for a third baseman, a few extra steals… what’s the point? The other deal would seem to be a better fit simply from the standpoint that you give up some categories to get others, but it depends on whether or not you can afford to deal power for a starting pitcher and some speed. If that’s the right fit, I’d rather do that deal.
