I would receive: Jimmy Rollins David DeJesus James Shields
I would send: Michael Young Carlos Quentin Lastings Milledge
6x6 (5x5 + OBP & IP) Limited kepeer (4 players taken after 4th round up to 3 years)
MY ROSTER ================ C Mauer 1B A-Gon 2B Roberts 3B Encarnacion SS M. Young CI Huff (1B/3B) MI DeRosa (2B/3B/OF) OF Holliday OF Quentin OF Milledge OF Burrell OF Span UTIL J.D. Drew (OF) Bench Church (OF) Bench Blalock (1B/3B) Bench Yadier (C) Bench E. Aybar (SS) Bench Griffey (OF)
SP J. Santana SP Volquez SP Chris Young SP Price SP Morro SP Purcey RP Marmol RP M. Gonzalez RP Corpas RP Aardsma P J. Sanchez P Hughes
His outfield is weak, and I think it's one of my stronger areas... But is dealing Quentin and Milledge together depleting it too much? The main point of this trade is to get a legit 2nd starter like Shields - he also has Oswalt. My rotation is too upside-dependent and I'm looking to anchor it a bit with a proven stud pitcher. Just don't want to give up too much to make that happen...
Really appreciate any help.

I almost love this trade for you. It would leave your OF pretty thin but I'd still accept. Maybe try to cut Lastings and Dejesus out of the deal and make it a 2 for 2, or send one of your lesser pitchers instead of Lastings

I think he asked for Milledge because he doesn't want to give up Rollins without replacing his speed, or at least most of it... He's not interested in Span. He previously wanted Roberts from me, who I told him is more or less untouchable. His pitching is pretty stacked, so I don't think throwing a pitcher in would sway him much.
