In Love with Quentin/Lester - Pull the Trigger? WHIR!

I think you'd be nuts to deal hamilton, definitely percival and Nolasco, but I think Nolasco will be a bit better. I own lester and he was awful and then looked very good today. I would expect similar numbers from both but maybe a few more Ks and a few less wins from Nolasco.

The first deal is pretty even. I see Hamilton and Quentin on par with each other and I wouldn't be surprised if CQ meets or surpasses Hamilton's production. Lester and Nolasco have pretty high rewards although they come with the risk that is correlated to big IP workload jumps from year to year, more so with Nolasco's elbow. That trade really depends on how you feel about either side.

BTW, you're not going to get Quentin/Lester for just Dye/Nolasco/Percival. The Hamilton idea sounds sensible, but I'd try Hamilton/Lilly for Quentin/Lester.

I really like your last trade idea. Any concerns about parting with one of my potential keepers (we keep 3) though, in Hamitlon?

Not really. Personally, I think Hamilton and Quentin have somewhat similar ceilings, but the interesting thing is Hamilton is considered a first round talent while Quentin would've outproduced Hamilton had it not been for a fluke injury and his value was more in flux compared to Hamilton. The only thing folks were nitpicky on with Quentin is a chunk of last year's HR total being in the "just missed" category. The encouraging thing is Quentin has hit 5 of his 7 HR on the road, which makes him more than a byproduct of his homer-friendly home park.
