Obviously you are getting the best player in the deal, in Pujols, but I wouldn't say this is a automatic Deal maker. Tulo is not chop liver. AND I think he stands out ahead of the SS pack, allot more then say Pujols does in a deep 1B position. HOWEVER this is a small league 10 teamer.....I would obviously still do the deal. Getting Hamels is a nice bonus too. There are other Dunn's out there.
Baseball is a game where a curve is an optical illusion, a screwball can be a pitch or a person, stealing is legal and you can spit anywhere you like except in the umpire's eye or on the ball. ~Jim Murray
I would do this as you could really use Hamels to help anchor your rotation. Jeter will do fine there. I'd then trade Jeter and Tex for Hanley and if you can't i'd trade Tex for Halladay or Felix
I don't think this is the slam everyone says it is. Tulo is only 26. Having Jeter as my ss in a keeper is not to my liking. I know Pujols is the man, but Dunn moving into a hitters park with a good lineup, is no slouch. I would try to move Tex for OF help myself. Or offer Tex/Hellickson for Pujols. I just can't move Tulo.

I would hold onto Tulo. In a league with only 10 teams, position scarcity comes into play. And Hanley/Tulo are the best guys at the shallowest position by a clear margin.
