NL Only Trade Help Needed (1 Viewer)

[Loopdog]

Ok so here's the story.

I'm in first place in my NL only league, 8 teams 5x5

I am clinging to the lead and can stand to lose some points in pitching categories due to injuries (Sheets, Big Unit) and sucking (Willis) that could drop me as far as 3rd place. The winner gets something like $500, 3rd would get like $75 so its a big deal.

An owner in my league proposed the following trade to me

I would recieve:

Either Jake Peavy or Carlos Zambrano (my choice) along with Alfonso Soriano and a 10th round pick (our draft is 10 rounds)

for

Rickie Weeks now, my #1 pick next year (which will be at the end of the first round) and then Cole Hamels and Matt Cain as players to be named later at the end of the season.

Here's my roster, lemme know if you would do it or not.

We keep 15 players a year.

any help is really appreciated, i'm really having a hard time moving Hamels but I do want to win for sure. Also, Soriano would quality at 2B in my league because he played one game there this season, so thats a huge plus. Next year he would only qualify at OF though.

Yeah I think this is a nobrainer. Sure you'd lose Hamels next year but you get to keep him this year and even next year you replace him with either Peavy or Zambrano who IMO are better. And then Soriano and a 10th for Weeks, Cain, and a 1st (considering there wont be many great players left since you keep 15) is a nobrainer.
