I think you need another closer, try trading Guthrie for a #2 closer uch as Kerry Wood, Matt Capps, or Heath Bell. Hamels will put up the same stats as those 2 combined.
I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!

This is a trade you need to accept based on talent alone if it was prop'd to you. I would even worry about it being vetoed by the league... Great buy low trade.

Full homer disclosure is in effect: This is a steal. Grab Hamels now before he blows up.
