I saw this on another message board and I thought it was a pretty interesting idea worth tossing around to see how others would react.
Would you trade Homer Bailey for Brandon Wood in a 1 for 1 straight up deal?
Both players will be out of options after this year and must stick in the majors. Both have had some trouble adjusting to the majors in their previous calls, both are former top 10 prospects and both are performing well in AAA.
