I'd bite for Rodriguez or Johnson, Ramos or Checchini and Coyle or Marrero with the Reds adding another piece.

I'd want one of the AAA lefties and Manny Margot, plus Coyle. Would not pull the trigger for less than that.
I'm not a system player. I am a system.

I'd take Rodriguez, Ramos and Coyle for Cueto and toss in a minor prospect - Mejias-Brean maybe or Tim Adleman
99% of all numbers only tell 33% of the story so when looking at the numbers remember that numbers is plural...
I've suggested Owens or Rodriquez, Matt Barnes & Cecchini ( a top 50 prospect & 2 other decent prospects) as a midsummer return for Cueto.
Barnes is likely a middle reliever & Cecchini is a 1B/3B/OF utility guy (doesn't sound like much but they will be cheap which is important)
I could be wrong but I don't see the Reds getting 2 top 100 prospects for 1/2 a season plus the playoffs of Cueto
.
Manuel Margot has to be included or no deal for me. Margot + Eduardo Rodriguez + Coyle or Rafael Devers.

Should the Reds actually trade him? Not for the usual reasons of not having a fire sale. The Reds have 3 young guys in the rotation if you count Iggy. If Cueto and/or Leake are traded and they have reached their innings pitched limit, who are going to be the starters? Everyone including me wants Marquis gone but he could be a placeholder we need.
I don't like to sound egotistical, but every time I stepped up to the plate with a bat in my hands, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the pitcher.

thanks.
Segura was ranked 55th on Baseball America's 2012 preseason prospect list. Hellweg & Pena were not ranked in the top 100.
The Lester/Cespedes deal was a bit unusual. I'd prefer prospects over getting 1.5 years of a lesser star (and maybe a draft pick down the road).
However the Reds could get a guy in a trade that they then extend (I believe Walt did this kind of thing in St Louis).
