Trade Review: How Did I Do?

I just completed a trade in my league, and want to get your thoughts on how I did. Most of these "how did I do" posts are people gloating about their lopsided trades, but this one I'm really not sure about. I don't see it as a no-brainer either way. The deal was the following:

I GAVE UP:  Eric Hosmer, Corey Patterson and Chris Perez
I GOT:  David Wright

Before you anser it, you need to know a little about my league. I am in a 12-team H2H mixed league where we can keep 6-10 (haven't finalized the number) players next year. Almost every stat counts in our league, as follows:
Batting:   R, H, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, SB, BB, K, AVG, OBP, SLG
Pitching:  W, L, CG, SHO, SV, HR, K, HLD, ERA, WHIP, BSV

Here is my current team (after the trade):

C Jonathan Lucroy(Mil - C)
1B Miguel Cabrera(Det - 1B)
2B Jed Lowrie(Bos - 2B,SS)
3B Jose Bautista(Tor - 3B,RF)
SS Stephen Drew(Ari - SS)
CI Justin Morneau(Min - 1B)
MI Eric Young(Col - 2B,LF)
LF Carl Crawford(Bos - LF)
CF Grady Sizemore(Cle - CF)
RF Corey Hart(Mil - RF)
OF Adam Jones(Bal - CF)
Util Endy Chavez(Tex - OF)
Util Brett Gardner(NYY - LF,CF)

BN Alex Rios(CWS - CF)
BN Chone Figgins(Sea - 2B,3B)
BN Brent Lillibridge(CWS - 2B,CF,RF)
BN David Wright(NYM - 3B)
DL Cameron Maybin(SD - CF)

SP Bud Norris(Hou - SP)
SP Aaron Harang(SD - SP)
SP Madison Bumgarner(SF - SP)
SP Carlos Zambrano(ChC - SP,RP)
SP Aaron Crow(KC - SP,RP)
RP Tim Collins(KC - RP)
RP Matt Thornton(CWS - RP)
RP David Robertson(NYY - RP)
P Kerry Wood(ChC - RP)
P Mark Melancon(Hou - RP)

BN Ervin Santana(LAA - SP)
BN Jake Arrieta(Bal - SP)
BN Rick Porcello(Det - SP)
DL Josh Johnson(Fla - SP)
DL Adam Wainwright(StL - SP)
DL Stephen Strasburg(Was - SP)
DL Jonathan Broxton(LAA - RP)

I think my team is still good enough to compete this year (I'm currently in 5th place out of 12 after starting the season with 3 awful losses), but I think this was definitely a move for next year and possibly this year's playoffs if Wright is healthy and playing well in September. I also don't think it hurts me too much this year - Hosmer is good but he's not David Wright, and I needed a 3B instead of a 1B; Patterson is playing over his head; and Perez provides Saves but nothing more. My keepers for next year will be: Miggy, Bautista, Crawford, Wright, Johnson, Wainwright, Strasburg, and then if I can keep more I'll likely go with Sizemore, Hart and Morneau. That's a monster team in a 12-team league!

Thoughts? Did I give up too much and throw away this season?

When Wright comes off the DL...

I’ll put him at 3B and slide Joey Bats into RF. Hart will take over either OF or UTIL. I think that’s a pretty good lineup, albeit with weak pitching until next year with Wainwright and Strasburg. If Morneau and Rios can play like they should, I think my team is stacked!

I dont like the deal

Wright is obviously pretty good, but I like Hosmer alot and you gave up alot for an injury player.

Keepers

I looked at it from a Keeper point of view. I don’t see Hosmer, Patterson or Perez as keepers (this year), though I may be terribly undervaluing Hosmer.

This is terribly, TERRIBLY undervaluing Hosmer

He is the exact definition of a keeper. He should have been owned and kept in every keeper league since last year.

Think you gave up the best player

and Hosmer is on the way up, while Wright may struggle to maintain decent production for the next few years.

I have David Wright in a Keeper League

I would love to get that haul for him. Hosmer may put up better numbers than Wright by next year. Depending on when Wright comes back he may already be there.
