value wise i think they match up OK.
Dunn is pretty much a lock for 40 HR along with good R/RBI, but his low AVG is a killer.
Matsuzaka can be good, but i just wouldnt expect an ERA like 2008. i think hes going to end up with an ERA closer to 4 than 3. he will get alot of K and should get alot of W with Boston.
i would say its good.

if you can include Wells and get someone like Burrell OR Ludwick thats probually better. Wells isnt going to hit as many HR even if healthy, and hes become injury prone recently. i would try that first. maybe go for Ludwick over Burrell, but expect a little less than what Ludwick did in 2008.

help?

The perception of Dunn's value fluctuates quite a bit, particularly this year with him moving to WAS. So it's an OK trade if it's the best you can do but I would be shooting for a better pitcher.

Maine has a good swing for a pitcher but on anything that moves, he has no chance. And if it's a fastball, it has to be up in the zone. Basically, the pitcher has to hit his bat. - Mike Pelfrey

Yes, I think the Dunn/Wells for Dice-K/Ludwick is good trade.

I like Thome out of that group.

i would pass on Willingham. hes not starting right now for Washington as they are starting the season with Dunn/Milledge/Dukes.
Giambi could supply some power, but low AVG.
Blake wont help much with LA
Thome is a good option for some power in Chicago
Hafner should bounc eback, but im not sure.
Kubel could have 20+ HR, but he could lose playing time in Minnesota with all the OF they have.
i think the better 2 options there would be Giambi or Thome with Thome being the 1st option
