I'm currently in the works for a trade that would net me Matt Davidson with me trading away Chris Perez.

First, is that a good deal for me in a 20 team dynasty? I've seemingly punted saves in the past.

Who is a better prospect?

Grant Green, SS Oakland A's

Mike Minor, SP Atlanta Braves

Green has been mediocre since being drafted, hitting for little power and showing little speed.

Minor, on the other hand, has been on fire this year, looking like his pure stuff has greatly improved.

The offer is:

I get Ryan Howard.

I give Chris Carter, Martin Perez, and Jenrry Mejia.

I have a very good MiLB system, and depth at pitching to boot.
What do you think?

 20 Teams (R, HR, RBI, BB, SB, AVG)
(W, ERA, WHIP, K, HLD, SV)

C. Joe Mauer 1B. David Ortiz 2B. Brian Roberts 3B. Troy Glaus 
SS. Troy Tulowitzki LF. Raul Ibanez CF. Franklin Gutierrez RF. Nick Markakis UT. Felipe Lopez
BN. Russell Branyan, Luis Valbuena

SP. Johan Santana, CC Sabathia, Clay Buchholz, Jonathan Sanchez, Ricky Romero, Brian Matusz, Charlie Morton
RP. Rafael Betancourt, Ramon Troncoso, Sammy Gervacio, Jesse Crain

DL. Trevor Cahill, Joey Devine

MiLB Roster:

1B. Logan Morrison, Chris Carter 3B. Brett Wallace SS. Reese Havens, Danny Espinosa
OF. Mike Stanton, Thomas Neal, Chris Heisey, Aaron Cunningham, Daryl Jones
RHP. Jenrry Mejia, Mike Leake, Jhoulys Chacin, Michael Main, Cody Scarpetta, Wynn Pelzer
LHP. Derek Holland, Martin Perez, Andrew Miller

So some of you remember my question about trading Johan/Main for Snider/Reimold. I ended up making a trade of Scott Baker for Chris Carter.

Now I've been offered Dom Brown & Marc Rzep for Jered Weaver & Daryl Jones.

Trading away Johan wouldn't be easy, but my team is certainly in the rebuilding stages and with my current young talent, I think I could seriously compete for the championship as soon as 2011. Johan isn't getting any younger, and Snider is a TOP young bat.

The offer is Johan and Michael Main for Travis Snider and Nolan Reimold.

Does this make sense for me? I would greatly appreciate text responses instead of simply choosing the poll option.

Thanks.

Does he still project as a starting OF for the Cubs? He's had a very nice year in AA, showing good power, but he's 24 and still doesn't seem to know how to take a walk. His K% wasn't terrible at 17.3%, but guys like him seem to rely too much on high BABIPs to sustain a reasonable batting average. 

In 2 starts since his call up to the big leagues, he's 2-6 with 2 walks, despite not walking once in his last 14 AA games.

What is the deal with Colvin and what type of upside do you ultimately think he has?

Was recently approached with an offer in my 20 team dynasty league.

I'd like to know what everyone thinks of these 4 guys in terms of upside + likelihood of reaching it.
