Cole Hamels Trade

Postby bcbhockey68 » Thu Apr 16, 2009 1:39 pm

14 Team H2H Keeper league Keep 5 per year

First off had the draft last night how do you think I did? Secondly what do you think I'm lacking(Power, Speed, Pitching)? I was thinking of packaging Cole Hamels with Hoffman for a lesser SP but a middle to top tier RP like (Zack Greinke and Jose Valverde) or (Scott Kazmir and Joe Nathan or Bobby Jenks) or (Josh Johnson and Heath Bell) or (Joakim Soria or James Shields). Do you think I could pull one of these off and which would be best?

In a 14 team league I'd shoot for someone higher. You have current weaknesses at infield due to subpar so far years from Davis and Pedroia and could use some bolstering there just in case they don't recover.

I'd rather see you offer Hamels and Hoffman for guys like Fielder and Hill or even one solid power hitting 1B, 2B or 3B. Who in your league is strong at those positions and need pitching?

Help me too? viewtopic.php?f=26&t=378989&p=3036429#p3036429

What about my Dustin Pedroia and Chris Davis for his Emilio Bonifacio and Arod? I would be selling my youth for a win now approach, but would it be worth it?

I think that trade is a bad idea. Don't give up on Pedroia so quickly, Chris Davis is finally coming around this week too.

I wouldn't be so quick to pull the trigger on Cole - too sexy.

You don't wanna weaken your SP sexy-factor too much.
