Um no lol. I have Hamels on my team, the guy is still working out the kinks but who knows what the lingering effects from his injury will be? Beckett will probably have a similar year to Hamels, if not better and McClouth is a really good hitter. So whoever gets Hamels is getting screwed.

I'm the Hamels owner so what if I added either Lind, Bruce, or Hawpe to the trade?

If you added Lind or Hawpe it would make it much more fair, Bruce has to show some signs of life first.

I have a team with Beckett/McLouth. I can't imagine agreeing to a trade like that even if you included any of those three OFs. I think McLouth is better than all of them, and I like Beckett to be equal to (or better than) Hamels this year.

I would actually do this. It really depends on your team. How is your offense? McLouth is good for a 20+/20+ season. Beckett is not as good as Hamels but will provide the same # of K's.

I drafted McLouth this season and just traded him for Ortiz. I dont know how that is gonna turn out.

Not knowing anything about the teams or league makes it more difficult but I still wouldnt pull the trigger if I had Beckett and Mclouth. Beckett is comparable to Hamels in enough categories that I dont see the advantage in this trade.
