I would... You already have Adrian at 1B, so MCab becomes only a UTIL option for you. Whereas you are going to be starting what Beckham at 3B? Longoria is definitely a big upgrade for you, and Hamilton could be a surprise for you this year... I think its a pretty even trade, plus for you tho because you upgrade big time in your starting lineup...

help me out...

I hear ya, but personally Id reject that. Cabrera is huge, let Hamilton hit a few home runs and trade high, no one thinks anything of him right now. I'd rather have Cab than Longo, and Hamilton over Kubel. Move Hamilton when the time is right. Beckham is a very solid min-longo with huge upside.

It may fit into the lineup, but I do not believe you are getting fair value for what you are giving up. Kubel is quite unheralded and shoudl get more credit. Still based on name value, you are selling low. I would aim higher.

Tough one. I think your lineup is better with Longoria over Cabrera. DLee is a fine Util and AGone will be a fine 1B starter. You could then try and move Phillips and Kubel for an upgrade at OF because you have Beckham at 2B. Hamilton has some risk but high reward so I can see this biting you in the rear later on or you could be relieved if Hamilton never regains his old form.

I think you should go for it and try and retrade Kubel. You team will be much better even if Hamilton does well.

Cabrera is a top 5 or 6 player.....it's crazy that he fell to you at 12 in the first place. You don't trade a guy like him. The return you are getting is not worth it.
