Counter offer...ask for a little bit more. Maybe he has a middle of the road closer (not an all star) who can help in the saves department a little. Or a utility man you might want for your bench. Someone who can help you out but will maybe sway the trade in your favor, because right now it is in his.
While you have no reason to doubt Ramirez's success you have even less of a reason to doubt Pujols. I would have a really hard time trading Pujols straight up.

Ramirez is worth more than pujols considering the 1B spot this year is deep. Do the trade especially knowing you have howard to back him up
