I think you should stick with what you have. Howard has been known to win teams championships down the stretch and Zimmerman should have a solid season with some emerging guys around him. Just accept the bad batting average from Howard then enjoy the second half runs he goes on.

Its not so much the batting average that bothers me as the K's. Its a H2H points league so the avg doesnt hurt me, but the K's are negative points.....

Thanks for the input..

Especially with K's = -points, DO NOT DO THE TRADE. Howard will strike out as much as A-rod and berk combined lol.

help...please!

Yes, you should do this immediately.

A-Rod's still better than Zimmerman moving forward, and you already have Guillen as a stopgap. I don't see Zimmerman as much more than EE (i.e., waiver bait).

And Howard? Huge risk: can't hit lefties, decling slugging, getting old fast. Sure, it might be 2011 before he's runing 1,000s of teams, but it's a ride I want off of ASAP.
