Answer 1

it really depends on what the other guys needs are...one of your players could be more valuable if they need that position...if i were you i'd shop jay bruce around for a SS b/c lugo is terrible and only plays once in a while.  your SP isn't bad if verlander comes around.  maybe try and package beltran and bruce for hamels and a SS.

Answer 2

Cole Hamels will pitch a ton of innings and will also stikeout plenty.  Billy Wagner has been pretty shaky lately but will probably get back on track.  You will clearly need to give up a great player to get an ace like Cole Hamels.  Your starting pitching needs a lot of work, but your offense is pretty good.  I recommend dealing Texeira and Bruce or Berkman.
