I've been offered Holiday and Baker for my Adam Jones and Bedard. Do I take this trade?

C Wieters 1B Berkman 2B Alexei Ramirez 3B Andy LaRoche SS Rollins OF Carlos Lee, Adam Jones, Ordonez Util Corey Hart Bench: Chris Davis, Aaron Hill DL: Aramis Ramirez SP: Grienke, Felix Hernandez, Bedard, Josh Johnson, Vazquez, Wainwright, Hanson, Kazmir RP: Fuentes, Bell
Also, I should probably add that I am very tempted to drop Aaron Hill for Luke Scott or Reimhold and that I want to drop Davis for Smoltz or another pitcher.

Any thoughts on this trade for me?
Pretty ironic that Jones and Bedard are coupled in the deal, being that they were traded for one another in actuality.
Basically, the way that I look at this trade, it can be considered as "selling high" on Adam Jones or "buying low" on Matt Holliday. Personally, I think that Holliday is going to bounce back and do better now that he is more familiar with AL pitching, however, I think that Adam Jones is for real. I feel that by including Bedard, who is coming off a few strong outings, makes this deal unfavorable for you.
I agree. I wouldn't do this trade. I think Jones will have just as good or better numbers than Holliday whe it is all said and done and Bedard is much much better than Baker in my opinion.
I'll echo the previous comments... I see Bedard as easily better than Baker, and although Holliday is starting to show signs I like Adam Jones to continue his strong season. I wouldn't do this trade.
I also wouldn't drop Aaron Hill. He's finally slumping a bit this season, but he's going to turn it around. Hold onto him.
I would not do the deal either as it stands now - if you can still sell high on Hill and throw him in to up the price, maybe that could swing things back in your favor
