Where it gets tricky is whether Tulowitzki as a pure hitter is worth going from Teixeira to Berkman. What I mean by "pure hitter" is that Tulowitzki would be slotted into my open UTIL spot, since I already have Hanley Ramirez at SS.
Some people are actually ranking Berkman above Teixeira, so maybe I'm over-thinking this and should just accept, but Teixeira was an absolute stud last year once he went over to the NL.

I would accept the trade as soon as I saw it. Like you said, Saito is very replaceable. (Kerry Wood was just named the closer of the Cubs for example) and while Berkman and Teixera are essentially washes, getting Tulo is getting a top 10 shortstop for essentially a replaceable player. Weighing the pros and cons of the deal I think you should hope the guy hasnt recinded the offer, because you are getting a great offer.
This is also assuming that you need a SS, UT or DH upgrade as well.
