Jones has been strong so far.

Did you make the trade? Adam Jones is a nice player, but getting 2 quality pitchers for a player who has not produced for a complete year before is a pretty good haul. Jones should tail off as the year goes on so take that into account.

That's a good question.  I think it depends what you need.  It's a pretty good 2 for 1 though.  Heath Bell leads the league in saves, which you can't really argue with that for your closer.  Adam Jones is emerging this year with a solid average just over .300, nice power numbers (12), and decent RBI counts (47). 

Yovani Gallardo is pitching well, 8-7 at the break with a 3.22 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, and 123 K's.  The record is decent, the ERA and WHIP are pretty good, and the K's are great.  You could argue that his team will need him most out of this 3 down the stretch.

I would say it still does depend on what you need and where these guys help you.

If you have a good rotation and need bullpen help yes you do it. Plus Adam Jones is a great player and definitely deserves a spot in your outfield.
