Should I make a run at Pujols or Tex?


A guy in my first year 10 team H2H mixer got the draft time wrong and missed the draft, which led to him drafting this incredibly unbalanced roster:

C: Geovany Soto

1B: Albert Pujols

2B: Michael Cuddyer

3B: Pablo Sandoval

SS: Dee Gordon

OF: Carlos Gonzalez

OF: Andrew McCutcheon

OF: Desmond Jennings

UTIL: Mark Teixeira

UTIL: Jay Bruce

SP: Matt Cain

SP: Dan Hudson

RP: Drew Storen

RP: Huston Street

P: Gio Gonzalez

P: Josh Beckett

P: Brandon Morrow

P: Ryan Dempster

BN: Coco Crisp

BN: Yubel Escobar

BN: Mitch Moreland

BN: Jonny Cueto

BN: Ryan Vogelsong

Since seeing his team, he's made it well known that he's looking to trade one of Tex or Pujols, which I look at as a great oppurtunity given my team:

C: Matt Wieters

1B: Kevin Youkilis

2B: Brandon Phillips

3B: Evan Longoria

SS: Starlin Castro

OF: Ryan Braun

OF: Giancarlo Stanton

OF: Hunter Pence

UTIL: Paul Goldschmidt

UTIL: Jesus Montero

SP: Stephen Strasburg

SP: Adam Wainwright

RP: Jose Valverde

RP: Kenley Jansen

P: Matt Moore

P: Cory Luebke

P: Rafael Betancourt

P: Clay Bucholz

BN: Billy Butler

BN: Kendrys Morales

BN: Addison Reed

BN: Jonny Venters

BN: Brandon McCarthy

I waited a long time on 1B at the draft, only for Youk's owner to inexplicably drop him the day after. I got him off waivers, but am not his biggest fan, so I'd love to get one of these two to upgrade my 1B position. I tried this trade, which was rejected:

Youkilis, Castro, Wainwright for Pujols, Gordon, Morrow

So, basically, I'm looking for trade ideas to pry a 1B away from him. He said he wants MI and SP.
