Finally Lester gets it together

Red Sox nation has finally got something to get excited about, the Sox actually swept a series which gives reason to be optimistic. On top of that Jon Lester pitched a gem and got his first win of the season. It has been a long time coming for Lester as he was unsuccessful in his first four starts.

Against the Jays he pitched like he did in the past, he pitched 7 solid inning of shutout ball striking out 11 and giving up just one hit. He now has 43 career wins against just 18 losses. His lifetime ERA is 3.71 and don't forget that he hurled a no hitter just a short time ago.

CC Sabathia picked up his third win of the season but did not dominate as he usually does. He gave up 11 hits in his 7 + innings of work, but once again the Yankees bats produced seven runs to guarantee the victory. He is a great pitcher but it never hurts to have big run support. He has now won 139 games. Only 11 more to get to the halfway mark.

In my fantasy league I was offered the following trade: To me Russell Martin (I need a catcher) and Chad Billingsley for Zach Greinke. I countered with Martin and Jonathan Sanchez for Greinke. What do you think? Is this a good offer?
