Give: Andrew McCutchen, Ubaldo Jimenez (back in draft after this year), and Lance Berkman
Get: Jay Bruce and Roy Halladay

Yes. AM is great, but that's a steal to get Bruce and Halladay, since you only have 1 year of Jimenez.

UPDATE:

It's a bit less in my favor now, but still do it? He needs OF help more than 1B, so I gotta sub Granderson for Berkman.

NEW DEAL---

I give McCutchen, Ubaldo and Granderson
I get Bruce, Halladay and Bumgarner

still would probably do it although def less in your favor. bumgarner could be pretty good but granderson is possible 30/20 type player. halladay over ubaldo is nice espically since you can keep him and bruce for mccutchen could be better for you as you already have crawford and ellsbury for speed. will burgarner really help that much over braden though? i mean hell be better but...and your still started sizemore whos a huge injury concern and berkman...is there anyway you can get a decent bat instead of madison, if not i still probably do this but. see what others think too

I agree that you do this deal as you have plenty of speed with Ellsbury and Crawford. I am a huge fan of McCutchen but we know where his ceiling is. Bruce will give you added power and an RBI source. Ubaldo could be an elite pitcher but Halladay already is. I am not convinced Granderson will ever be able to effectively hit lefties, so don't expect good BA with him.

Please help with mine
