I would keep Hamels. But I would also very strongly consider keeping Vlad over Adrian Gonzalez.

help me with mine...?

Personally, I'd keep Hamels. Outfielders are easy to come by. However, top tier pitchers are pretty hard to get in drafts.

Thanks. Your really think Vlad over Gonzo. Im thinking Vlad is getting older and hes slipping slightly with the potential for injuries etc. due to age where as Gonzo is still young with his prime years coming up and the steady progression over the past few years. Plus he has put his numbers up in an almost absent SD lineup.

imo your choice is between Bay & Hamels.

I would likely keep Bay as I think you can get arms that are close to Hamels in the first few rounds of the draft.

I see some regression for adrian gonzalez. i am someone in the minority, but i think he is way overrated this year. plus vlad is considered to be as good or better than gonzalez even by those that overrate gonzalez, so i don't see how you can go too wrong.

look into it for yourself. look at some projections. they are about the same, with .030+ points of BA and 5-10 SB in vlad's favor. look at some mock drafts and some other rankings. you might be right, but i'd go with vlad. hamels is better than both for the record.

Ive heard the Hamels vs. J. Shields argument and it does have some validity but if I can lock up two aces I can focus on position players. On the other hand any way I thnk something is sterring me towards Bay.
