Crawford is the center of attention for most trades now, for a while, people has been trying to sell low on him, but Crawford is simply not the kind of player who would blow out a season, Crawford is a clear legitimate elite OF, he HAS the skills to be very good. Howard Kendrick may seem good now, but what Crawford may do in the future may be a lot more. Chipper Jones was in fact was a FA in my league, then picked up later, however, Jones will not be able to keep producing the way he does in the long run. This trade is not balanced at all as it does not consider the possibility of Crawford being a legitimate and productive player later in the season. My instincts would to be to wait on Crawford, his average has risen from .150 to .200 in 6 games, which is a complete turnaround, as well as signs of him heating up, as he heats up, Boston as a team will get better as well. Crawford is still legitimate. Gardner and Freeman are having tough times now, try to trade Gardner away deceptively if you can, he wont be a big contributor I think. If anything, you should be asking for a lot more talented players from the opposition.

I wouldn't trade Crawford alone for Chipper Jones and Kendrick.
Crawford will come around and be very useful.
Its early in the season to get too high on Chipper. His bad knees could go at anytime...
I'd stick with what you got man!

terrible trade man unless you're getting crawford. he will be just fine this year after the weather heats up. if the other guy is set on this trade, i would demand another player like chipper, kendrick and jacoby ellsbury. or chipper, kendrick and victorino. or chipper, kendrick and adam jones. something along those lines man. good luck.
