In a 12 man roto keeper league, and my hitting is ATROCIOUS. I've been literally sending out 3-4 offers a day, but got nothing. I got this today and it was far better than anything I'd received prior to it. The deal is:
I GIVE: Cliff Lee (SP, PHI), Nick Swisher (OF, NYY), Wilson Ramos (C, WAS)
I GET: Curtis Granderson (OF, NYY), Corey Hart (OF, MIL), Ryan Madson (RP, PHI)
And just to clarify:
League Type: Keeper
Scoring: Roto
Teams: 12
Here are the categories we score and my points as of tonight next to them (1-12):
BATTING
R: 2
HR: 5
RBI: 5
SB: 4
AVG: 2
PITCHING
K: 10
W: 12
SV: 1
ERA: 11
WHIP: 12
And my roster:
C: Alex Avila (DET)

1B: Prince Fielder (MIL)
2B: Jason Kipnis (CLE)

RP: Philip Humber (CWS)
BENCH: Zach Britton (BAL)
BENCH: Paul Maholm (PIT)
BENCH: Sergio Romo (SF)
BENCH: Sean Marshall (CHC)
DL: Adam Wainwright (STL)
DESIGNATED MINOR LEAGUERS: Yu Darvish (SP), Jesus Montero (C), Jonathan Schoop (3B)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My thought process was pretty much this: my hitting is absolute garbage outside of Fielder and Cabrera and the only guy getting me saves is extremely inconsistent. With Lee gone I still have Weaver/Marcum/Carpenter/Kennedy with Leake/Maholm/Britton/Humber as decent 5th guys. Wainwright will hopefully be back next year, and there's rumblings that Darvish may come over.
I thought it was a fair deal, but I wouldn't mind some extra input. Any opinions are appreciated.
