Hey, looking at your roster, who would you put in the OF if you trade Hamilton? You would lose a ton of power production #s.
Are you way up in offensive categories right now? If not, I would not make this trade.
You already have two of the top SPs in the league on your roster.
Greinke's not exactly been the man lately, and Bucholz is hurt.

So, no, I would not make this trade. Keep the power!

Help me out?

This is h2h, not rotisserie...so I'm not sure I understand your comment about my lead in offensive cat's. Each week is a new game. I'm in 1st and this trade is with the team in 2nd who is 1 game behind me. Next closest team is 25 back, so we're both trying to position ourselves.

Thanks for mine, yeah you'd have to throw Pods in the OF if you do this just going by your roster now. That said if you are losing pitching cats a lot I think you make the move. Hamilton is always a worry to get hurt again.

Ah, H2H, my bad. wasn't paying attention. you don't see too many H2H baseball leagues these days, at least I don't.

I still like Hamilton. There aren't many guys who can produce like him. He's at or near the top of the list for offensive stats.

I have Bucholz in a league. he's been great. But, he's no fantasy superstar. Needs to pick u the K's to be more successful.

Greinke's given up 23 runs in six June starts. With one 10+K performance.

Now as long as Hamilton doesn't participate on the HR contest at the All Star game...

I wouldn't make this trade. You're pitching staff is already pretty deep and you'd be leaving a big hole in your OF.
