I would get Jay Bruce and Jake Fox and give BJ Upton in return. this is a big 18 team keeper, with my other OF being Burrell, Granderson, Guillen, Francisco and my 3B (Fox soon to be eligible) is A. Laroche with moustakas/alvarez waiting to be called up. It is a yahoo league with standard stats + BB's (batting) and holds (pitching). OF prospects are Julio Borbon, F-Mart, Austin Jackson, and emilio bonifacio would help replace some lost upton steals.

Jay Bruce is substantially better than B.J. Upton
Of course take the deal

re: don't do it
BJ has both speed and power and a better BA than Jay Bruce. I like Bruce, but he’s not as good…Bruce is only a few hairs worse than BJ. (less SBs, less BA).
as for Jake Fox? Good bench player, worth a shot or two, but not for a keeper league.
if the other guy threw in another player….I’d pull the trigger!

BABIP
You guys do realize that Bruce’s BABIP this year is like .200, almost 100 points lower than it ever has been before. With even decent luck, there’s a chance he’d bat .300 with a ton of power and walks
