I proposed Fielder/Lincecum/Bedard, and he came back wanting Fielder/Lincecum/Peavy. He has also asked for a 6th rd puck next year, but I like idea of bailing on Lincecum.
UPDATED: Deal sitting on this.... No picks. HE GETS: Fielder/Lincecum/Peavy I GET: Pujols/CC/Holland
Just said, he would also take FIELDER/LINCECUM/WANDY RODRIGUEZ
Unless you change my mind, I want to go. I know I am a little rich on RP and short on SP, but I am assuming quality over quantity for the moment. Belief in Lincecum is key here and I may be exhausted.

I like this deal for you. I, too, recently bailed on Lincecum and don't blame you for wanting to do the same. We may come to regret it, but it might be the best move we make all year. And in this deal in particular, I think you are getting very good value back considering the players being swapped. Nice deal.
Fair trade. You're certainly giving up a lot of talent, however you are getting the better part of the trade as you are getting Pujols and CC. Both are high end players. You probably added Peavy earlier this year via the WW so you basically got him for free. Lincecum has had a down year but he should rebound. So, essentially your trading Fielder and Lincecum for Pujols and CC.
I love this trade for you so let's see if it goes through.....I think your obviously getting all the better players here as I feel Linc won't turn things around and feel Holland will....(it all depends on the views around Linc though that makes or breaks this deal but I feel if he hasn't found his stuff by now then it's not going to happen...at least not this season)!
I would do it. Pujols and Fielder are essentialy a push. Getting CC for Lincecum at this point is a big win. Holland and Peavy...not worth worrying about either. I would hold onto Wandy as he may get dealt to a contender.
