Cano AND Francis or Cano OR Francis? I'd definitely do Pavano for Francis, if you get Cano, that's a plus. Then, you can peddle Kinsler for upgraded pitching. Win-win both ways.

Id get Francis and Cano for Pavano.

I'm actually kind of high on Pavano.

Kinsler would be hard to trade I think.

Im not sure how much better Cano over Pavano would be.

I do have Wang on the bench waiting to get healthy.

I then could drop Pedro for more pitching.

 
If it's both, than definitely do it. I'm not a big Pavano fan and I don't think he's really done anything in his career outside of that one year in Florida to merit such worth.

2B is pretty thin and now, you'd have two capable starters at 2B. Surely, someone is willing to overpay for either Cano or Kinsler.

I would definitely do this trade. Cano is the only player in this deal with great value over players available on the wire. Get him. Pavano is the personification of pitching risk. No doubt that this improves your team, before the season.

 
I think Im going to counter the offer instead of getting Francis, I will add in Jake Westbrook.
Why? Francis is 3 years younger and has higher strikeout rates than Westbrook.It's your team, though. Glllll
He plays for a poor team and is suspended isnt he?Its not a keeper league.
If it's not a keeper league, then this does change things a bit. Really, they'll probably be close to even, all things being equal. Westbrook has proven to be a little more durable and he's not fighting a suspension.Westbrook and Cano for Pavano is still highway robbery. I'd still do it.
 
I would do it for Cano for Pavano straight up. Cano is a significant upgrade (he's my #2 only behind Utley). Pavano has not pitched in the majors in a year and a half and I don't think he has the mental makeup to pitch in NY. I'd take Jeff Francis and be happy.

 
Cano is the stud in this deal. He was hurt 6 weeks last year and still had HRs in the teens and a great BA. He's money this year. Do the deal.
