I wouldn't give up Leake. I'd give up Bailey before Leake. I wouldn't mind giving up Stubbs either, but I'm scared of who we would replace him with in CF. Alonso could come up to play LF (which would be better than Gomes and Lewis), but there's not much to replace Stubbs' defense (which has been sub-par recently, but he's normally not that bad). Bruce ain't going nowhere, not with his arm in RF (I'm just sick of waiting on him to learn patience at the plate).
Who would you propose to trade from our farm system in a package deal?
