I am biased because I loathe Clemens. I think he'll mail in the rest of the season once he gets his 300th win.
Though I'm not really sold on Benson. Plays on a bad team and has to pitch against the rotation/offenses of Houston, Chicago, and St Louis, not helping his ERA or win total.
However, Percival is very possibly done for the year. If not done, he'll be less effective. He's got a degenerative hip and now is changing his delivery because of it.
I would probably reject the trade and try for a better starting pitcher, but the offer isn't far off.
