OK...Your roster was hard to read like that, but I think after looking at if briefly that this is my conclusion.

You'd be giving up two SP (Felix and Greinke) for three SP (Marshall, Pettite, and Halladay) and giving up a closer (Bell) and giving up a hitter (Scutaro) for a hitter (Youkilis).

The way I see it is that Marshall, Pettite and Scutaro are all just throw ins. They don't really amount to much when evaluating a trade like this. So you'd be giving up Felix and Greinke and Bell for Halladay and Youkilis. Youkilis is probably the best player in the deal. Halladay is probably the best pitcher, based on past results, and the fact that I'm not sure I trust Felix or Greinke to hold up over the whole year. I guess I think you can do it, but I'm not sure that you really NEED to do it. If you could work Ortiz into it, and get some other SP or closer back for him, then I would do it.

I would not do that deal. Youk is definitely the best hitter, but you'd be giving up Bell leaving you with only 1 closer. Greinke and Felix may not be this great the entire year, but I like both of them better than Pettitte and I like Greinke nearly as much as Halladay. If Greinke played for a better hitting team, I think he could do just as well. This is the year he break out. I think I'd stand pat at this time.
