Should I trade Jay Bruce?

Question

Recently my offense has come alive, I'm averaging 40 R & RBI, 11 SB, 10 HR, and 320 avg over the past 2 weeks after completely suffering through cold starters (Mark Tex, Nick Markakis) and injury's (A-Rod). Now, my biggest need is finally shown though, pitching..Chin-Meng Wang was amazing @ seasons begining but has since been awful..as has Aaron Harrang. Out of my players, who should I trade in a one-one deal?

Russell Martin

Mark Teixeira

Brandon Philips

Alex Rodriguez

Yunil Escobar

Johnny Damon

Jacoby Ellsbury

Bobby Abreu

Nick Markakis

Jay Bruce

Vernon Wells

Chin-Meng Wang

Aaron Harrang

John Danks

Josh Banks

Dana Eveland

Armando Gallaraga

Tim Lincecum

Johnny Cueto

Manny Parra

Mariano Riviera

Salomon Torres

Yeah, my pitching is that bad, but I am in 5th place and 9 behind 1st after he had 2 god awful weeks..

Answer 1

No way you can get Volquez for Bruce and Wang alone.

I would try and trade Bruce for a guy like Dan haren.

Answer 2

Trade Bruce and Wang (whos been cooling off big time), for Volquez and (insert outfielder here)

Answer 3

keep haraang

Answer 4

Personally, I'd sell high on Johnny Damon and try to turn him into a back end starter and middler reliever.  I would say the same of Markakis ... I think he's having just a hot week or two.

As for Jay Bruce ... with A-Rod coming back, you don't need to hold on to such a high potential guy.  But you need to get full value in the event he puts up MVP numbers on a ROY campaign.  I think he's worth at least a Dan Harren, if not a Lincecum or a top level closer.
