Hamilton is hitting well this spring, but has to stay healthy. My opinion would be Pence or Bruce, leaning towards Pence.

thanks for help on mine!

I actually like all four of those guys...I think Quentin will have a big bounceback year, and its only a matter of time for Bruce. Still, Pence is the safe pick.

Help if you can?

I would take Hamilton easily over Figgins. I would also take Quentin or Bruce over Figgins, but if the offer is Hamilton, I would jump all over it.

I'd try to upgrade Hardy too, depending on how much you like him.

Maybe Escobar and Pence for Hardy and Figgins

I may be in the minority on Hardy though...

No Hamilton is easily the better player, just accept that deal.

Its a great deal but there is no chance Hamilton makes 120 games this year. Dude is made of glass so don't be upset when he lands on the DL a few times this year.

I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.
