I think you definitely do this trade. Mig Cabrera is a no brainer over Justin Upton and I like Kershaw as much as I like Hamels for sure, so I think you win on both sides.

It does seem like you will be losing SB every week, but SB are not that hard to address later on if you decide you don't want to go into each week 0-1. It definitely wouldnt stop me from taking this trade.

yeah Mig is hard to pass on knowing what I'm gonna get....baring injury he's a .320 30-40 bombs and 120rbi guy....and altho Upton had a nice year last year until he got hurt....I don't trust that he can put up those same numbers...he may....but he may also digress like brother BJ has!

Cabrera is the best player in the deal. Go for it!
