Carlos Pena for Josh Hamilton?

Postby Benkei » Fri Apr 16, 2010 1:08 pm

Roto League
Cats = R, RBI, SB, OBP, SLG

I have one too many hitters eligible at 1b/Util/CI and would love to trade one of them for an OF

If I give up Carlos Pena is Josh Hamilton fair compensation? I was actually approached by the manager who owns Hamilton and he wants to know if I'd sweeten the deal. Unless I am totally missing something, Pena is better and more proven than Hamilton, especially in our scoring system.

However, I'd consider downgrading a little for the sake of positional eligibility. Is there something I am missing about Hamilton that makes him something special to chase after? If I can get the other manager to go Pena-Hamilton straight up is it a legit deal?

Yeah, I'd do that in a heartbeat. Then again, I am a Hamilton homer.

"Sweeten the deal" - haha

He's been consistently hitting bombs for years. I'd want more if I was trading Pena.
