Andrew McCutchen for Cole Hamels

Postby washkow » Mon May 17, 2010 5:21 pm

I was offered Cole Hamels for Andrew McCutchen. I feel like Cole is playing worse than he is, and mccutch is playing way better than he is, so there is a little buy low sell high action going on. Also, with Cole, I could have good enough pitching to drop either lilly or slowey and pick up a nice hot bat off the wire.
Thoughts?
thanks!

I really like Andrew McCutchen. I wouldn't sell him unless you're getting a guy like Cliff Lee, Johan Santana, or Dan Haren. I think Cole Hamels has been every inconsistent after his rookie year. I wish I could buy McCutchen from another owner in my league. The kid has a great blend of power and speed. Unlike other potential potent OF like BJ Upton, Hart, and McClouth this kid is raking.

Boy, everyone I talk to seems to feel pretty similarly that McCutch will be McClutch and will hit all his oponents in the McCrotch. What am I missing with this young fellow? Is this trade bad because McCatch is so good or that Hamels is so bad?

McCutchen is just so good. Have you looked at his numbers? He is a stud and will only get better. He is a probably 300, 25 HR, 90RUNs(more if Pirates didn't suck) and 50 SB. Keep him unless someone overpays.

please help

He is really good and Hamels is ok. McCutchen is a 20 HR 50SB threat with a good avg. I don't see what isn't to love. Hamels is ok, but hasn't shown to be much better than a 3 SP for sometime.

It's because McCutchen is so good.

You DEFINITELY don't want to do this trade. McCutchen is a top 50 fantasy talent this season at the very least. Perhaps more like a top 35 player.

He's currently the 9th ranked fantasy player in Yahoo.

Don't do it!

Don't do it!

McCutchen will be a first round pick in 2011. Hold onto him!
