Rios will post an end of season statistical line very similar to that of Rollins, possibly better. Rios has legitimate .300-30HR-30SB upside. Rios alone is worth more, not taking position scarcity into account. Hardy has had a rising power skill over the past two seasons, and is merely off to a slow start. Hardy is just outside the top seven or eight shortstops, but is a solid player. Hardy could bat .280 and hit 30 home runs on his own. I highly recommend you do not trade for Rollins.
I know all about Rio's pottential, but Werth and Cameron are capable of putting up solid statlines as well (both have 20-20 pottential, Werth even has 30-30) and both are currently sitting on my bench. So in turn by doing this trade I highly upgrade ss and throw one of them right in there. I don't know, seems logigal 2 me.
Id do the trade. Rollins is special and to only give up Hardy and a not-yet-established Cruz is a good deal. I have both Cruz and hardy on my team and Id do it for J Roll in my league.

While you are right about Werth, Cameron will drag down your batting average, even with the 20-20 upside. You have bigger needs at second base and third base—I would upgrade both of those positions before I would upgrade Hardy at shortstop. If you take the Rollins trade, you will be overpaying for a moderate increase in shortstop value in the short term.
I think Hill is gonna hold down 2nd bag for me just fine and u must not have noticed A-Rod sitting in my DL spot. 2nd and 3rd are as good as a beer at the end of the work day.
Yes, I missed A. Rod. I like Aaron Hill as a young breakout player, but if you are going to trade the package of Rios and Hardy, you should attempt to trade for Utley, Kinsler, or Pedroia. All three have more value than Rollins.

LOL. Rollins was an early 2nd round pick in most leagues. If you can land him for Hardy and Rios then DO IT NOW!
I would do this trade in a heartbeat. Rollins will come on and be a stud like usual and you arent giving up too much to get him especially with what you have on your bench. Good deal for you.
