The deal definately gives you more homers, as Dunn and Prince will hit similar totals, but Hamilton is a step up over Craw. Do you think you can lose the SB Craw brings, because I think you're risking a steady closer....and going with two shakey ones as part of this deal. I think Mo is a lock for 40+ with this team.
I lose a great closer, but I am pretty quick on the waiver when somebody gets hurt or loses the job as closer. So, I will be able to get some cheap saves.

I really don't think the other guy would accept that proposed deal..
Crawford versus Prince is relatively close in value.. but then there's a huge discrepancy between Hamilton versus Dunn, which guys like Rivera and Slowey won't make up for, especially considering your getting Joba and Hawpe in return.
I like this deal for you a lot, but I don't think would ever get this deal accepted in any of my leagues. You may have to start to look for a different way to get some value off his team.
Maybe you can post both rosters so you can get help looking for other plausable offers.
Mo and Slowey for Hawpe and Joba, that is pretty much a wash right there.
Bottom line is, he gets help in saves and SBs, which he needs. I get help in power.
I can afford to lose the steals, I still have Hanley, Hunter, and Roberts. So that doesn't kill me. Also, I hate to lose Mo, but I can roll with two decent closers and hit the waiver wire/FA pool for cheap saves through out the season.
