Hamels, Bills Trade. WHIR!!!

[Xezus]

I was just offered

His: Cole Hamels and Ubaldo Jimenez
for
My: Chad Billingsley and Scott Kazmir

He is in another league of mine and knows that im a big Phillies fan so hes probably thinking he can get me to give up some more for Hamels.

I was thinking of Countering with:

Hamels, Jimenez, Bruce
For
Billingsley, Kazmir, C. Young (OF)

I figured Bruce would help more than C. Young this year. Should i be worried about Hamels Elbow? Billingsley has enough upside to match Cole Hamels in Production i think and Kaz is still a great pitcher at least to me.

Heres my team and league info

12 team H2H 8x8 cats 7 keepers (1st year of league)

C-Martin
1B-Pujols
2B-Phillips
3B-Cantu
SS-Jeter
OF-Beltran
OF-Cruz
OF-Young
Util-Delgado
BN- Delmon Young, Butler

SP-Santana (Johan), Billingsley, Kazmir, Joba, Scherzer, Malhom, Parra
RP-Fuentes, Corpas, Motte

Im leaning towards not accepting the first trade, but should i propose the second?

Thanx for any help!

i like the second trade. mostly because i love hamels and i think kazmir is one of the most overated guys in baseball. i mean when is he going to be reliable and play a whole season? until he proves that i would avoid him on my team.

No way, no way, no way.

The gap between Bills and Hamels is slight--and Bills is only going to get better.

Meanwhile, the gap between UJ and Kazmir is gigantic.

You'd be essentially trading two #2 pitchers with #1 upside for a #1 and a #5 starter.

Stinky deal.

I think you should just stay put.

If you really want bruce, which I dont think helps too much, then the 2nd deal is OK

Your team could use upgrades in: Saves and Stolen Bases. He's not in a position to help you with relievers, but perhaps you could pry Ellsbury away from him.

1st for sue no
2nd is pretty fair imo id try to get Ellsbury over Bruce though as you need SB's
