That looks like good return for Braun to me. Greinke looks like he's going to be a stud all year and he would help solidfiy your pitching staff. Votto is a terrific player capable of hitting for both average and power.

I'd take it. ;-D

Thanks for the replies. Anyone else? I'm looking for five to seven replies, if possible.

Where's Votto eligible? You're obviously not starting him over Pujols, so I'm not sure how you get him in to your lineup other than Util...

I wouldn't do it. Greinke's value won't get any higher and Braun's value is pretty low for him...

Votto would fit into one of my Util spots.

I'd probably pull the trigger on that one. It's hard to pass up Greinke right now. Votto is hitting well.
