Looking for power/RBI help in trading Cruz for Howard sort of seems like a lateral move to me. While Helton to Howard is a very good upgrade, you'd still be losing Cruz in your OF. I suppose it would depend whether or not you're confident in Cruz still getting playing time in his bizarre situation with Andruw Jones in TEX.
Howard also has a poor AVG, which may hurt as well. However, Ibanez has recently returned, which may translate into seeing better pitches to hit.
Jackson to Zambrano is a bit of a hit as well. Overall, I'd say no to the deal, and maybe instead try to send a counteroffer in which you send a good pitcher to the owner in exchange for Howard.
Help out:
