Would you make this trade.

There has been a lot of talk about trading Milledge. Since this seems to be
a sellers market I was wondering what the Mets might be able to get for some
of the players they will be losing next year.
Cliff Floyd will be replaced by Milledge next year barring a Milledge trade.
When Floyd was out the Mets didn't suffer in the win column. So if they were
able to get a decent pitching prospect like
29. Humberto Sanchez - RHP Tigers - DOB: 05/28/83 - ETA: Sept. 2006
Previous rankings: none
5-3, 1.76 ERA, 47 H, 86/27 K/BB in 71 2/3 IP for Double-A Erie
5-1, 2.15 ERA, 32 H, 31/10 K/BB in 37 2/3 IP for Triple-A Toledo
Sanchez had a 5.21 ERA at Single-A Lakeland in 2004 and a 5.56 ERA at
Double-A Erie during a 2005 season marred by injuries, but he entered this
year as one of the Tigers' top prospects anyway and he's showing exactly
why. Using a 93-95 mph fastball and an outstanding power curveball, he's
been one of the best pitchers in the minors. Besides health, the difference
this year is the consistency he's displayed with his breaking ball. His
changeup remains a weak third pitch at this time. If the Tigers want, they
could put him in the bullpen right now and likely get pretty good results
from him. Since his change is going to need more work if he's going to excel
as a starter, it looks like they'd prefer to leave him in the minors. He'll
be a rotation candidate during the first half of 2007.
or
24. Matt Garza - RHP Twins - DOB: 11/26/83 - ETA: May 2007
Previous rankings: none
5-1, 1.42 ERA, 27 H, 53/11 K/BB in 44 1/3 IP for Single-A Fort Myers
6-2, 2.51 ERA, 40 H, 68/14 K/BB in 57 1/3 IP for Double-A New Britain
Garza wasn't expected to move this quickly, but the Twins have been
aggressive with him and he still hasn't been challenged at any level. A 2005
first-round pick out of Fresno State, Garza throws 92-95 mph and utilizes a
plus slider and an average curve. He hasn't needed his changeup yet, so that
offering rates well below his others. However, with his command, he should
be able to succeed in the majors using just his top three pitches. If the
Twins can remain in contention, it'd be no surprise to see Garza get a look
in the rotation at some point during August. If not, he'll probably have to
wait until 2007.
should the Mets do it even if they had to throw in a lesser prospect like
Solar.
So basically
Floyd and Solar for lets say Garza and maybe a lesser prospect.
