i would probably try rios/cliff lee or rios/soria first but if those didn't work i think i'd make the rios/paps trade to get hamilton.

I would say that seems like a pretty fair move. Adding Hamilton essentially gives you two first round draft picks in a 12 team league which is pretty nice.

Although from his standpoint, I am not sure why he would give up Hamilton when he already has 3 serviceable closers and an OK outfield. If anything he probably should be looking for SP. I like it for you, but not sure he is going to bite on it.
