Should i trade Chris Young (SD-P) and Rich Hill for Nick Swisher or try to pursue a 3rd baseman?

I don't like either trade. You don't need to give up two very good SP just to get Swisher. At most Swisher should be worth Young. The other trade is worse. One of your 3B candidates will pan out. I especially like Encarnacion. You can afford to trade Furcal, but not three other useful players as well just for Ramirez. If you want to upgrade, Furcal for Atkins or in a one for one for ARam is more like it. You have two bench guys. You don't need more in h2h. You can just grab a FA in case of injury or off day. I'd use the Hensley spot for that sort of thing. Grab a bat for a day here and there or take a pitcher with an advantageous matchup. Gagne is on the DL. I like James a lot so use this opportunity to take him.
