Cabrera isn't 3b-eligible, then?

Based on adp, you'd be giving up too much, but that's skewed because Young and Galarraga have played well (Galarraga, in particular, would be drafted much higher today). So I wouldn't say it's wildly off, but I'd still start lower. Maybe just offer Furcal and Millwood, see if he bites (probably won't, but worth a shot).

I'm not sure about the trade, though. You don't have many steals, but you're trading away one of your only steals guys, and you want to trade him to a team that already has a ton of steals. Plus Delgado would only be a bench player for him, as well. Just doesn't seem to be a good fit.

I'd just keep: Carlos Delgado and Rafael Furcal. You don't need Young with owning Furcal already.

Im trying to get better at 3B since Young is eligible at 3B. Since i still have M. Cab, Howard and Berkam for 1B i can part with Delgado. Also i have Drew to play SS and i would also have Young since he is also SS eligible.

If you want to upgrade at 3b. Deal one of those 1b for a 3b. That will work better.

See if Ian Stewart's available either as a free agent or whoever has him, he'll bring above average power production with a lower pricetag than alot of other options at 3rd. However, if you're looking to trade with this particular person, go after Zimmerman over Young.
