    Sale >>> JDM (Sale must be a monster here)
    Hammel <<< Lackey (Lackey will go deep into games, Hammel might not)

    So what do you think about Blackmon vs Ozuna? Even in a points league Blackmon has to be a pretty good outfielder, right?

    If you really believe Hammel is closer to Lackey than I do, and you like Ozuna (I kind of do) then maybe it's worth it to get Sale.

      Not to be unwelcoming, but if your league has 26 different point-scoring things, some of which are fractional, there is literally no chance I'm going to think about it hard enough to give you a personalized answer.

      I like Hammel a lot but I think he'd be about your seventh-best SP if you made this trade (behind all your current starters, Sale, and Ross). So now we're basically on Lackey for Ozuna (which is a thing that could happen in a normal league, no idea on your points thing) and JDM and Blackmon for Sale, which seems like rather a lot to give up in a normal league.
      In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

        Does this help at all?

        Last season points:
        Sale - 518.5
        Lackey - 453.5
        JD - 449.5
        Blackmon - 428.5
        Hammel - 364

          It helps some. I'm all for getting the best player in a deal, but if you optimistically have Sale 100 points better than Lackey, you're still counting on Ozuna and Santana or Pederson being within 100 of JD and Blackmon, and I doubt that.

          You could justify it if you're really high on Ozuna and your bench outfielders, but I don't think I'd do it.

            I'd pass on that deal. You're parting with way too much here.
