Fantasy Baseball Help

gotsparks09

So I've been milling this over for a day or so and can't decide. Help me out here, fellas...

I've been proposed the following trade:

MY Cole Hamels
For HIS Josh Beckett and Tommy Hanson

My other starting pitchers:

John Danks
Roy Halladay
Ricky Romero
Bud Norris
Tim Hudson
Daniel Bard
Ted Lilly

Scoring categories: W, K, ERA, WHIP

If projected seasonal stats hold up to muster, I'd be giving up ERA and WHIP to get more W and K. Overall, this might help me throughout the season...but maybe it'll hurt me? This is a H2H league.

Thanks guys!

Personally I never make a trade where I don't get the best player in the deal...esp in a 2 for 1 scenario unless it's a super deep league. Judging by your other starters I'm seeing a 10 or 12 team league. That said, both Beckett and Hanson are noted injury risks and just looking at PitchFX, Beckett's velocity is down to 91mph so far this season compared to 94+ last season. Likewise, Hanson is down to 90 mph compared to nearly 93 mph last season. That doesn't mean they can't rebound and reclaim their velocity as it's still early, but you saw what happens to Beckett at 91mph yesterday which equated to 1 K in 8 IP.
