I like Sandoval just a bit more.

I wouldn't do it, Hamels has been very solid and a sub 3.00 era / 200k pitcher which is pure elite. With the move of Miggy and Hanley to 3rd Panda isn't even an elite 3 bagger and I heard he came to camp 25 pounds over, exactly like he did 2 years ago when he blew.

I agree with this. I think the love of Pablo has gone too far if. Hamels gives you these numbers and has been about as healthy as you can get from a SP and you know what you are going to get. Pablo is good but last year really wasn't that great because he missed time. I just don't think you can tell what Pablo will do for you this year and until you can, then don't trade top 10 SP for him.

1b/OF Berkman
2b Kinsler
3b Beltre
OF Braun. Crawford
Hamels, Haren

You already have a better 3b in Beltre and enough risk assumed with your keeps. Hamels is about a steady a low end ace as you are going to find in the game. Keep him and don't look back.
