What kind of league? Generally I'd say no, Hamilton is too good for Lincecum, but it depends somewhat on your league.

Your OF is good but you're still starting Cameron Maybin. If you lose Hammy then your OF gets a whole lot thinner. I'd hang onto Hamilton.

Help?

I'd stick with Hamilton and wait on your current pitching staff, which is pretty decent.

Another vote to keep Hamilton. If you're starting Maybin, you must be pretty thin, even though you have some definite studs at the top of your OF. You have a decent rotation, no need to reach for Lincecum.

Gotta keep Hamilton. See if he'll do it for Kemp + Ubaldo or something.

your outfield is good, but not sick. you lose a ton of power if you lose hamilton. im not too big on mclouth myself, and maybin will have some serioius struggles i think.

i wouldnt do it.

Nope. Dont like the deal. Keep Hamilton. Question marks surrounding Maybin,McClouth and Victorino. Your OF isn't as deep as you think it is.

I think you have a really solid outfield even without Hamilton.....Kemp-McClouth-Victorino is pretty nasty. Hamilton is slightly injured and who knows if he will repeat last years performance? You could really use an ace like Lincecum, so I would make the deal. Your other option is to deal McClouth straight up for a lesser SP who will still help your staff, such as Josh Johnson, Danks, Wainwright, or Bedard. Either way I think trading one of your outfielders for a SP is a good move :-D
