I won't have much room for Sean Marshall, but I really like Victorino and Young. Any advice would be appreciated.

I would do this trade. You are getting two better players IMO in Victorino and Young. You won't miss Hawpe. You can slide Kelly Johnson in 2b and you upgrade your ss position. Who cares about S Marshall - just dump him.

Although I think Hawpe is going to have a big year I would pull the trigger on this one. As said above Marshall is just a throw in you will end up dropping.
