I'm assuming that's Asdrubal in the deal for Team A.
I'm picking team A, and by a good margin too.
Team A is getting 4 top 100 players, while team B is getting 2 top 100 players (Crawford and Kinsler), an injured player, and two players that aren't worth much (although one of them is pretty hot right now).
I think Team A is doing a great job of selling high on Niemann, dumping Beltre, and using a big name like Kinsler to nab some solid players.
Utley is far better than Kinsler (so is Cabrera in my mind). Aaron Hill is a non-factor.
Hamels is a top 20 pitcher. Niemann is barely a top 100 pitcher.
McCutchen can provide similar numbers to Crawford, so you're not losing a whole lot with Crawford.
It's a no brainer in my opinion.

Since you're defending what Team B is getting, can I assume that you are Team B?
I think hamels vs. niemann and utley+cabrera vs. kinsler+hill is so one-sided that I'd rather be Team A, that's all.
If you think Niemann is going to finish the year like this, and if you think Beltre will come right back from injury without any hiccups, and if you're ok with losing a top 20 pitcher and 2 tremendous MIs, then by all means, go for it.

so who do i throw in to sweeten the deal? markakis, trumbo, willignham, worley, garcia, karstan and norris are my options, i got verlander, lee, tulo. and howard too but they are untouchable
since trumbo is on such a hot streak i have no interested in putting him in the package if i put worley or markakis in instead of hill do u think it would get the deal done?
