Your package makes just a much sense, but I like Francisco more than Stubbs. If you keep Stubbs and get Reyes, where does Stubbs go? The 8 spot? Bat him ninth when a good hitting pitcher is in the game (ala LaRussa). He isn't a very good leadoff hitter and his defense is meh. He has missed getting to plenty of fly balls despite having the speed to get to them. Why not upgrade your offense and find a role player in the outfield? They have to have bats, not defense, as evidence by last years playoffs.
I am still slightly surprised that Leake didn't get his suspension for stealing t-shirts. Maybe the diversion program saved him 5 game checks he can use to buy American Rag t-shirts.
