Peavy for Manny Ramirez?

I really like peavy. if i were in your place i might try to lowball the other first. send out a feeler offer of hudson straight up, or maybe hudson+melky or something. try to begin the trade process by identifying the best package you would offer for a given player/package and then take it down a couple steps in value. that way you can negotiate a bit and try to get a better deal and protect more talent than you would initially.
