Should I deal Bay for Hamilton? I am pretty much guranteed to be in the playoffs because my team is stacked so I am looking long-term.

I think I like Bay just a tad more. Just seems to be the safer play. He will probably be resigning with Boston too so that should keep his value safe. Can't imagine the Sawx let him go.
I would wait till the end of the season, but as of this moment, you have to go with Bay. Hamilton seems to be extremely injury prone, while Bay just keeps putting on consistent #'s.
IF we're talking both healthy...than Hamilton has a much higher ceiling, but tough to count on him to be healthy
Hamilton is the better keeper in my opinion. It's hard telling though how he will finish this year even once this injury business is taken care of. One could argue that Bay will outperform Hamilton when he returns for this year, but next year, I'd rather have Hamilton.
