Hanson is one of those guys I'd rather have to start the season if he goes on a hot streak (and if the hype machine on Hanson is kicked up another notch), unless you really get an offer you can't refuse. That way, you might be able to pull off a better deal later on. Off the top of my head, he's worth McCutchen straight up, but like I said, you could be able to squeeze even better value out of Hanson later.

If there's one guy on your team I'd deal right now with the team you're dealing with or could be dealing with, it's V-Mart. The poor guy has Yadier Molina, which is a far from ideal fantasy backstop. V-Mart for Lind sounds fair and a deal I'd be content with and you might be able to get Justin Upton if the package is right.

I would hold onto Hanson right now. First I think his value can go way up. I think he is one of those players that managers might not be buying into right now as an ace, but if Hanson starts off hot, those same managers will be willing to give up alot more for him.

Also I would want to wait a little bit with your pitching staff. It could be that by May 1, Liriano has imploded and Peavy is on the 60 day DL and you would be kicking yourself for giving up Hanson.

I agree - only way I move Hanson is for another pitcher, which may not be worth it right now. I'd hang onto him and see how he starts the year. It's a calculated risk, but I think you'll be better off for it.

Hanson for Fielder and Kershaw...short of that you're giving him away. Hanson will win multiple Cy Young awards in the very very near future.
