Should I trade Soriano and Hamels for Lincecum, Longoria, and Tim Hudson?

Question

I currently have Berkman, Markakis, McLouth, Matt Kemp, and Conor Jackson for my outfield (besides Soriano)

And have these starting pitchers (besides Hamels):

Ryan Dempster

James Shields

Adam Wainwright

Ricky Nolasco

Jorge Campillo

Tim Wakefield

Wandy Rodriguez

Answer 1

You didn't mention who your 3B was, to know how much of an upgrade Longoria is.  But regardless, Longoria is great (even greater if you are in a keeper league).  And Lincecum vs. Hamels is pretty close (although SF Giants suck), I wouldn't mind having either one.  So I'd do it...I agree that you can spare an OF given your lineup.

However, here's another approach...   Personally I don't like your pitching staff too much.  If you could somehow swing getting a Lincecum-type pitcher and NOT give up Hamels, that would be the best.  Then you can drop Wandy or Wakefield and bolster your staff.
