Right now, I have to many 1B and 3B. I am not sure on who I should keep and who I should trade. I am thinking of using the trade to either add an OF or strengthen my RP.

You will have a better chance of making a good trade if you look at the other teams to see who needs a 1B/3B, then see what they have that you like. Does that team have a surplus of OF??? Feel free to post the options you identify, and I'll give you my thoughts.
I would look for an OF before RP if I were you. RP often emerge from the free agent pool so no big need to trade for one at this point.
Do you start 5 OF, and that's why you have a blank at OF? If so, obviously you need to add an OF, no question.
It'd help to know your starting positions, particularly at OF and infield.
I'd work on OF and middle infield before I'd worry about RP. RPs come and go all season.
After OF is resolved, I'd look at MI. Lopez is questionable and Tejada is in the twilight of his career, so I'd try to upgrade, perhaps by offering Huff while is is at his max value.

Yeah, in the league there are 5 starting OF. I dropped Winn to pick up Huff. cuz Winn sucks and I thought that I could use one of my 1B/3B to add a quality OF.
Both Daniel Murphy and Spilborghs are available. What kind of production could I expect from them? Also, I could even add CoCo Crisp, but I am not sure who I would drop.
