Keeper League trade

[jonboy418]

I'm in a 10 team keeper league where we keep 3 hitters and 1 pitcher. It's an extensive scoring system, 15 in all, that really favors high average power hitters.
Here's the trade:

I give up:
Chase Utley
Cole Hamels

I get:
Brian Roberts
Grady Sizemore
Scott Kazmir

I'm already second in my league right now, so I think this could help me this year, but am I sacrificing my future as well. I know losing Chase would hurt, but I'm extremely intruiged by Sizemore. Since we keep only 3 hitters, Roberts and Sizemore both would not be keepers. But one of them could though. Do you think this trade is worth it?

No. Sizemore is a big risk this year as he is not healthy and will most likely have surgery in the offseason. Kazmir has been awful and I would be happier to have Coles. Stick with what you have got.

you're getting a downgrade in keepers also, I would pass.

no way i do this deal... way i look at it is you said High Average power hitters are favored, well even if grady was playing to his potential this year hes still not a high average hitter, Utley may go for a few less SB but other then that i think he takes every other category over Sizemore... so looking at it like this you lose...

Utley>>Sizemore (utley wins in almost all categories scored and is at a MUCH harder position to find top players at)
Hamels=<Roberts/Kazmir

even if Roberts+Kamir has a slight advantage over Hamels its not enough value to make up for the difference between Utley and Sizemore, and i personally have lost ALL confidence in Kazmir hes looked and pitched like Junk all year...

you don't get enough in return for a top 2 if not the best 2B in the league and a great young arm in Hamels, politely decline...
