Yikes I think you got takes to the cleaners personally.

Lincecum is the real deal, Lee will probably go back to 2006 form, maybe just below average.

So basically you got and average pitcher and + 1b guy(who is also hurt by the way, if you consider chipper hurt) and I think that Tex's value is down with Arod out. He is a second half guy but giving up Lince is too much.

you probably should've got some outside opinions on this one before you accepted it, so that somebody could stop you

you'll miss lincecum

It's not bad as you got the best player in the trade (Tex), but I don't really like this trade for you either. Assuming he doesn't tire out this season, Linceum is a huge improvement on Lee. By moving Chipper out and grabbing Tex (who is hurt but should be fine) you've got to play Rolen all year at 3B. Good luck!

I agree with the rest of the responses. Lee is an average pitcher at best this year. Last year was a big aberration. If Chipper is considered hurt, then Teixeira must be as well. You took the bad end of the deal, especially when Rolen starts to stink.

Seems like you are hurting for power numbers, I would hold on to Lincy but gaining Tex would give your power numbers a boost. I would see if you can get rid of someone other than the Cy Young winner to get the trade
