Me Too. I am new to this and I'm surprised at the spending vs. risk going on.
Hamilton could either be gold or coal this season. I think he'll be above average, but not stud-like. Chris Davis had a great second half last year and is a good deal if he's around $10. Other than that, I think he's overvalued and you are taking the risk of spending on another 'alex gordon'-type ride.

Just to name a few...
With Davis, you know what he can do, but if he only gets 350 at bats, well.....................

Got an offer offer of Carlos Lee (46/1) and Travis Snider (2/1). It would postpone cash savings until next season but I like Snider. Am I getting enough back for Crawford or should I ask him to include either Choo (4/1) or Luke Scott (5/2) His team is a contender and I'm a bottom feeder.
It's early. I bet you get a better offer -- I'd politely decline, and wait.
I think you're right.
He who knows not and knows not he knows not: he is a fool - shun him. He who knows not and knows he knows not: he is simple - teach him. He who knows and knows not he knows: he is asleep - wake him. He who knows and knows he knows: he is wise - follow him
