So I have a trade in the works where I give up McCutch for Rickie Weeks and Michael Bourn. It is a Standard Roto league 10 team I only want to pick up another 2B because of the Utley situation and I can put Weeks in for Hill when Utley is back

Decent deal although I think I would rather have McCutchen. You don't need a 2B so I don't think I would trade an OF like McCutchen to get another one. Plus Weeks is an injury risk as well so why have two 2B that might miss a decent amount of games.

Yeah I don't see the benefit to you. Keep Cutch, IMO he is poised for a breakout season. A guy I am definitely targeting early and often in most of my drafts
I think the deal is decent too. I don't care for cutch a whole lot, he put up some weird contrasting numbers from 2010 to 2011. I like targeting players with high AVG. Weeks is a good acquisition, but you don't really need him, any chance you could get someone to replace viciedo in the deal instead of weeks?
Like the other responders, I think this is a pretty fair trade. I can see why you'd want an upgrade/extra 2B. Since you have other options, Weeks' injury concerns aren't as big of a deal.
However, I'd probably keep McCutchen. I think Bourn is highly overvalued this season. He's a one trick pony and steals can be gotten for much cheaper than him.
