Not with Hudson approaching the end of his career and Jurjjens approaching free agency. Although I'm beginning to think Medlen is really going to be an interesting guy to watch in the next couple of years if/when they move him back into the rotation.

The last time we dumped a pitching prospect for an established corner OF was when we acquired JD Drew for none other than one Adam Wainright. Obviously hindsight is 20-20, but I can't see how to justify trading a guy whose ceiling is as high as Teheran's, unless it's for a legit elite player (a la Bautista). But nobody's gonna give up an elite guy for an unproven prospect.
