I'd definitely stay put here - Upton is by far the best player in this deal, and Ventura/Gordon don't offer you nearly enough by way of depth to make this deal worth it.

Thanks for the reply

my thinking here is what is so special about Justin upton? He's been a disappointment the past 3 seasons and is looking like he may never live up to the hype of the number 1 overall pick.. Ventura has the makings of a future ace (pending his arm doesn't explode like everyone's these days).. And Alex Gordon is still a solid #2-3 outfielder

anyone else got any thoughts?

I think I agree with you here Ab. Your lineup is pretty stacked anyway. Upton is good as long as the month is April. Seems that way at least. Ventura is an ace baring injury. Then you can platoon the 2 of spots with what you have left. I think you might be able to get more for Upton might be the only reason to think twice. Someone is sure to overvalue him more than this trade gives.
