For Utley... I think you can do that for a guy who is a fringe top 100 prospect and some extra pieces.
Something like:
Orlando Calixte (he has to start hitting better at NWA for this to work)
Gio/Colon (whichever one they like... guy that is close to the majors, has some upside and can give them everyday play at 2B pretty much right away)
Chris Dwyer
That woud be a pretty fair package, I think, and it's a better one than they received for Pence.

Why trade for Dejesus, though? We can move Dyson into Center and shift Cain into Right if we want to platoon a lefty bat in. Or call up David Lough. Sure they're not power bats, but they are extremely productive speed bats.
