Ryan Howard and Ian Stewart for Adam Wainwright and Billy Butler.

Butler and Stewart are keeper eligible, the other two are not.

Here is my current roster:

C Kurt Suzuki
1B Ryan Howard
2B Kelly Johnson
3B Casey McGehee
SS Stephen Drew
CI Paul Konerko
MI Ben Zobrist
OF Ryan Braun
OF Josh Willingham
OF Jason Kubel
OF Adam Lind
UT Lance Berkman
UT Derek Lee
Shin Soo Choo DL
Andres Torres BN
Scott Podsednik BN

P Roy Halladay
P Jered Weaver
P Yovani Gallardo DL
P Shaun Marcum DL
P Ted Lilly
P Jorge De La Rosa
P Ricky Romero
P Kevin Slowey
P Joel Pinero
RP David Aardsma
RP Matt Capps
RP Alfredo Simon
RP Bobby Jenks

Thank you for your insight!

I'd stick with Howard and Stewart. I think the deal is fair in terms of value, but I just don't think you can afford such a loss in power. In fact, for an 11 teamer, I think your power is pretty average as is... making this deal will bring that to below average. Why not try to flip Stewart for a lesser starter? Someone like Colby Lewis would probably represent the high water mark for what you could get, but you might want to consider guys like Scott Baker, Brett Cecil, Wandy Rodriguez, and Ted Lily.

Please return the favor:
