GNUru Mailbag: Hoard Hamels?
TEAMS: Oakland Athletics,  Chicago Cubs,  Tampa Bay Rays,  San Diego Padres,  Los Angeles Dodgers,  Philadelphia Phillies,  Milwaukee Brewers
PLAYERS: Joe Blanton,  Ted Lilly,  James Shields,  Greg Maddux,  Brad Penny,  Cole Hamels,  Alcides Escobar,  Kelvim Escobar
The GNUru advises a loyal reader on what to do regarding an enticing trade he was offered.... I'm in a 16 team, standard CBS, head-to-head, keeper league and was offered Brad Penny and Kelvim Escobar for Cole Hamels. I am pretty weak at Starting Pitching and the 2 quality pitchers for 1 sounds appealing but I am hesistant to deal Hamels. Any insight into this trade would be appreciated.

    It really depends how pitching starved you are. I consider Hamels a top-tier SP. He does have some injury history...but some of that was his own doing (bar fight, etc.), and not necessarily pitching related. Penny's a stud, and Escobar has shown flashes of dominance, but not on a consistent year-to-year basis. Personally, I would share in your hesitation to deal Hamels, but couldn't really criticize you a great deal if you took the trade offer either. I'm not sure what the rest of your staff looks like, but just on the players involved, I think I would hang onto Hamels for the time being.
