Hamels for Asdrubal straight up?

[crazycooter]

I have been offered Asdrubal Cabrera for Cole Hamels straight up. It is a standard 5x5 roto league. I am currently leading the standings by a whopping 17 points. I have 9 or 10 points in every pitching category. My offense is not quite as good: R - 6; HR - 9; RBI - 8; SB - 4; AVG - 6.

My roster is:

C - Brian McCann
1B - Prince Fielder
2B - Rickie Weeks
3B - Evan Longoria
SS - JJ Hardy
2B/SS - Neil Walker
1B/3B - Carlos Lee
OF - Nelson Cruz, Andrew McCutcheon, Raul Ibanez, Jon Jay, Jose Tabata, Josh Willingham

P - Hamels, David Price, Jonathan Sanchez, Josh Beckett, Kyle Lohse, Anibal Sanchez, Max Scherzer, Hiroki Kuroda, AJ Burnett
RP - Chris Perez, Leo Nunez, Joel Hanrahan

I'm tempted to grab the offensive boost, but I think I really need help in the outfield more. Plus, now that Scherzer has fallen on harder times, trading Hamels would leave my staff a little bit weak at the top. What do you guys think?

I wouldn't take this trade, the other guy is trying to sell high on Asdrubal, who in my opinion is playing beyond his real value this year.


Please help with mine

No way!!! Hamels is this years Cy Young IMO.

I would try for a little more in return, maybe another decent starter. But I think it is closer than most. Offense is not as easy to find as pitching and you are trying to fill a need.

That was my initial thought, but the FA wire in my league right now is total junk. Kevin Correia is the most widely owned non-DL available pitcher in the league.

I am also worried about a potential drop off with Cabrera as someone mentioned above. As I recall, he was a waiver wire guy most of last year.

You could use the SS help, but Hamels is worth more.
