I would pass. The 30 steals difference between Ellsbury and Figgins doesn't make up the power and BA difference between Hanley and Bartlett. Mauer would help make up some of the BA difference, but I still think your team would be a bit less potent.
No thanks. Speed is easy to find this year, so I'm not paying a premium for a guy like Ellsbury (who's unlikely to steal 70 bases again anyway) and while Mauer is a great guy for his position, it doesn't make up for shipping Hanley out to land him.
I don't like it all. You are given up the second best fantasy player this year. You should be getting a premium in return for it, and although Mauer is great I just don't see that package giving you the return that you deserve.
I'd pass as well. As much of a Mauer fan as I am, I don't think giving up hanley in this deal makes too much sense for you. Montero is a solid bet at catcher this year In my opinion one of the best after Mauer/Vmart/mccann
