Answer 1

Take the trade, you are getting the better players, so long as you have another half way decent OF to plug in.

Answer 2

Well, the first person is giving away 2 great hitters and a great pitcher obviously in Braun, Hamilton, and Webb. Hamilton has been hitting around a great line-up including young and bradley who is having a great year, so he should continue to produce big numbers as far as ribs are concerned into the second half of the year. Webb, though he has lost a few games, will more than likely pick up his great pace again in the second half of the year too, and will bring a lot of wins since he has a good hitting squad with him. Braun is a good hr man and is a top hitter too.

         For the other guy, you are giving away a great hitter obviously in 3 good hitters in pujols, lee, and bay, and Lackey has been one of the most dominant pitchers since his return. The players for this team may be more injury prone however, as they have received more in the first half of this year.

          I think that the first team gets the better end of the deal though, just out of the fact that though Hamilton and Braun have been great, Pujols, Lee, and Bay have almost matched(hamilton) atleast in RBI and have had similar seasons to Brawn. I think Lackey will be one of the top 3 pitchers in the second half of the year as well. Team 1 gets the better end.
