If the player dealing Wright has sufficient SBs without him, then I say go for it. But part of me thinks that Wright is such an efficient capsul of elite stats at the 3B position that it is nice to have that talent as opposed to spreading it over two players -- Teix is great, but if you have to bench someone great to play Zimmerman out of position demands, then well... but very fair IMO.
Thanks for the help with mine. No player can be out of the draft longer than 3 years ... so after 2010, Soriano and Granderson both go back into the draft for 2011. Still keep Soriano then? You feel good about his health this year?
without knowing who else is on your team I would take Teix and Zimmer. I usually like to be the one getting the best player, but getting those 2 players for him seems worth it.

The rest of the story is in flux, since I have another trade pending and an outstanding waiver claim. I'm the guy in the trade that would be giving up Wright in exchange for Tex/Zimm. The trade was offered to me, and was unsolicited (I wasn't shopping Wright around).
Assuming the other trade I currently have pending goes through, here is what my team looks like:
c: B. Molina 1b: Berkman 2b: Cano 3b: Wright ss: Alexei Ramirez of: Holliday of: Hart of: Markakis util: C. Davis
sp: Webb sp: F. Hernandez sp: Wainwright sp: Volstad rp: Marmol rp: B. Wilson rp: Street
Bench: Loney (1b) Bench: Del. Young (of) Bench: Polanco (2b) Bench: Jose Guillen (of) Bench: P. Sandoval (c)
I'm trying to pick up Ryan Dempster off waivers (I'd drop J. Guillen).
So, if I accepted the trade, C. Davis probably starts the season on the bench until I find out if he can live up to the huge expectations. If he does turn out to be a stud (and if I don't have any injury/bust problems), then I make a decision of who I want to trade, Davis or Zimmerman (probably for a SP).
If the other trade happens to get vetoed, my pitching staff looks better (I would have Grienke instead), but I would have a hulge hole by the name of Orlando Cabrera at SS.
Its a fair trade, but I don't think you need it. If you do I assume you would slide Tex to 1b bumping Berkman to OF/U. I then Like C. Davis over Zimmerman. So Zimmerman would become a bench guy for you.
