    First off, watch your formatting. You could list position, player, and team on a single line with no blank line between them and shorten the excessive length of this post by 75%.

    To answer your question, there's no way he takes this. Napoli is no upgrade over Wieters and there's no reason to believe Grienke will be substantially better than Scherzer. You'd have to give him a clear and definitive upgrade somewhere in order to get the likes of those prospects off him.

    I think your main weakness is OF, and your main strength is SP. If you want to trade with this guy, I'd suggest offering 1-for-1 a top starter (you have three) for one of his top OFs. Or you might be able to go 2-for-1 and get Furcal for a good SP + Theriot.

    I wouldn't take your offer. Scherzer has much more upside than Grienke and Wieters could be this year's Geovany Soto.

    Great deal for you, terrible deal for the other guy.
