Hamilton and Kennedy for Johnson and Granderson seems fair, but I wouldn't do the same trade for Oswalt. Hamilton's stock has never been higher, so keep that in mind.

Not a big fan of that one. You would be downgrading two OF to upgrade one SP. Why not Hamilton and Kennedy for Granderson and Johnson? If that doesn't work, Hamilton and Kennedy for Markakis and Johnson.

Hope that helps.

How much faith do you have in Markakis? He's been pretty useless so far? I would try to get a better OF in return, unless you believe Markakis is going to turn it around.

I wouldn't trade him for less than a top 10 pick. He's an absolute beast if he stays healthy.

Markakis has been turning it around recently, and he does a bit better in the 2nd half...so who knows. Also, even though Granderson's lineup is amazing, he's been really lackluster.
