Trade for Hamels, despite the elbow? WHIR

Postby javens » Mon Mar 30, 2009 8:56 pm

As you will soon find out when you look at my team, I have a stacked offense, and weak pitching staff. I'm looking to potentially trade for Cole Hamels, most likely baiting him with Dice-K and throwing in one of my starting outfielders (Ludwick, Hawpe, maybe McClouth). Tell me what you guys think I should do.

I think your SP is OK and I wouldn't do a deal like that. I don't trust your back-up OF enough to be willing to trade one of your starters for Hamels with your pitching staff....That's my take...

Your hitting is stacked for sure but I think have a solid rotation as well, so I'd hold.

Help w/mine?

Yeah I agree. I don't think your OF is as stacked as you think it is. I would be looking to do an OF upgrade to be honest. Ludwick's value is about as high is it's going to get IMO. I'd try and package a deal for a stud OF that's fallen a little like a Soriano or Beltran type..

i wouldn't do that. your pitching is actually good. i would consider dropping randy johnson actually for someone on the waiver wire, if there are any good options.
