Big time Hanley trade...WHIR

[jeffkoz12]

Tough call. Rollins is a big step down from HanRam, IMO, but you're getting great stuff in the other three spots.

Waiting only complicates things though. You are also buying relatively low on Youk. He could heat up and get the other owner to reconsider.

Do it if you're committed to selling Hanley, and won't regret it later when he heats up (and he will heat up)

Does anyone else have any thoughts on this? I will help in return guaranteed. Thanks.

Any other opinions out there on this one? Rest assured, all help will be returned, guaranteed. Thanks!

It's not bad but I think you would be selling Hanley low here if you did this deal. Hanley is one of those special players like Pujols who you have to be overwhelmed to trade. I wouldn't do it.

please help

So Hanley's drop off last year, and big time struggles all this year don't concern you guys at all?? Now they have him batting 2nd...no worry whatsoever? Honestly, I'm kinda freaked out about my 2nd overall pick sucking ass.

Yes they do.

On a good note, his .252 babip is way under his career .342.
And he's still on a 30 sb pace.

The bad news is he may be only a 18-20 hr guy now.
Why?
51% GB rate last year, and a staggering 57% this year. (44% career norm)
You can't hit a lot of hrs with a low fly ball rate.

I'm screwed. Hanley's going to take my team to the toilet this year. How about this? What if I post my roster and the guy's who desperately wants Hanley? Do you guys think you could think of an offer that'd be a great deal for me? Thank you guys SO much! I will gladly help in any way I can in return, guaranteed. This could be my season right here.

Kidsilk is right. Don't bail on Hanley. If he goes on a monster hot streak after starting so poorly, it won't be the first time.

If anything, people should be buying low on Hanley right now.

I would do it in a heartbeat...Hanley is done...He is not the same player he used to be. He is so overrated anymore becuase of his position. He has done nothing the last 2 years to justify a 1st overall pick in the draft, He is not a stud anymore in my opinion. Rollins is getting old but his numbers wont be that way off from Hanley's trust me. Hanley is under achieving.
