12-team mixed. I'm in second place. In the hitting categories, I'm in first in runs and avg, fifth in RBI, sixth in HR and SB. I was offered Springer $3 for Billy Hamilton $2. I feel like Springer is a better player overall and I should be able to find steals elsewhere, but it's not a league with a ton of trading. Unfortunately the only other guy I have with more than 5 SB is Reyes (I had Pollock but that's not too useful right now).

Springer for BHamilton?
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.Tags: None

yes, but salaries go up very quickly compared to most ($5/yr starting immediately)In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway.

6th in Hr's and 5th in RBI's- Springer helps in both.
6th in SB's- Hamilton helps in this, but so far not enough.
So how many points can you gain in hr and rbi vs. the lost points in sbs?
On the surface it seems like the trade may help you for this year and you get the superior player.
Even if it was a push in points I would still make the trade. Obviously if you stand to lose points don't make the trade.

Looking forward to the next two years I think you'd rather have Springer, but it might cost you a title this year."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

HR: 121, 120, 116, 115, 114, 113 (me), 108, 96, etc.
RBI: 479, 466, 453, 446, 444 (me), 439, 405, etc.
SB: 102, 92, 78, 72, 70, 66 (me), 63, 62, 56, 53, 49, 38
so I can move up in HR/RBI pretty dramatically. I'll probably lose most of the points back in SB, although another team is trying to trade Dee Gordon so I'll go look into that.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway.

If I am in your position I would make the trade.
Good luck.
