Which is a worse Fantasy Offer

All Keeper 5 x 5:
Week 1: Miguel Cabrera for Barry Bonds
or
Week 5: Jon Lieber for Ben Sheets

Wow, that's a tough one. I can't decide.
(gears spinning)
I'd have to say Lieber for Sheets is worse, because I can't think of any situation in which that would be acceptable. On the other hand, someone (who is on crack), could trade Cabrera for Bonds if they really think Bonds will come back and have a better 2005-2006 than Cabrera.

I'd go with #2 as well, that one has absolutely NO upside.

Two. No question. What reason would you ever do that? At least the Bonds one has some signaficance... (not much)

Agree with all of the above opinions.

Adding Barry Bonds, you know you're getting one of the top offensive players in the game. Regardless of age or health or whether he's going to play this season, it's Barry Bonds.

Adding Jon Lieber, you aren't getting a top player. You could probably find guys on the waiver wire right now who will finish out the season with stats close to Lieber's.
