I would probably take Team 2. Prince Fielder has been cool, but he's definetely a power threat. Soriano can get you steals and homeruns, and Griffey can hit homers. There's always the potential that Griffey can get injured.
Lee will give you a good batting average, Ramirez is heating up and will give you homeruns and a pretty good average, and Ichiro will give you a great average and steals. Plus, Roy Halladay is a great starter. Team 2 ends up getting more steals, and a much higher average, and pitching. All three players on Team 2 have averages over .300, where only one does on Team 1.
Basically, you are getting an upgrade at OF, while a downgrade at 1B. Then, team 2 gets Halladay (who is having a bad year by his standards, but is still a very good pitcher). So if you are getting a free ace pitcher, then make the deal.
I think that this trade is pretty close to even. I would say Team 1 would be better if you need Power - if you need speed, runs scored, average and pitching help - I would say Team 2.

Fielder > Lee ---- Advantage team 1
Manny = Soriano ----- Tie
Ichiro > Griffey ----- Advantage team 2
Roy Hallday for free ---Advantage team 2

Team 2 wins
I would say Team 2.
Prince vs. Lee - Potentially even. Lee is more proven veteran though.
Soriano and Griffey vs. Ichiro and Ramirez - Also somewhat even. Nice mix of HRs and SBs and RBIs.
Team 2 gets Halladay which is why they win. Everybody else is pretty even.

Team 2 by far. More players and more talent.
team 2 no doubt
