Was offered Jay Bruce for my Stanton, Arencibia, and Street. Is this a no brainer? Have Axford, Santos, and Farnsworth in the pen, Santana at catcher so not worried about losing Street but am not sure what Arencibia's or Stanton's ceiling is this year.

Actually just spoke with the other manager; he'll do the deal for any of my 4 closers, not necessarily Street. So two questions: which closer is the worst out of the 4 (Axford, Street, Santos, Farnsworth) and is the deal still worth doing?
While Bruce won't help you a ton in steals and is pretty good in AVG (.295 a bit higher than I expect him to finish, personally; more like a .280 guy), it's not like you're losing big AVG or speed in Stanton & Arrenciba. I'd offer Stanton/Arrenciba/Farnsworth for Bruce and a throw in if he's got someone interesting, otherwise snag 2 guys off waivers.
Actually ended up having to deal Stanton, Arencibia and Santos for Bruce, but I'm kinda glad after Santos' performance tonight. That's 2 bad outings in a row from him
