I have been offerd R. Howard and C. Hamels for D. Lee.

Hamels is a stud pitcher, and I have J. Loney on my bench at 1B so I would still have another 1B besides Howard if he continues to struggle, and Loney has been tearing it up. What do you think?

	Take the trade
	Keep D. Lee

	Take the trade then turn around and try to spin Howard in another trade. Unless that is your league doesn't strikeout.

	I would have to take it and hope Howard turns it around. You have to figure he will hit a groove and start smacking long balls in bunches.

	I've had Howard on my fantasy team for three straght seasons for a reason: When he's hot, he kills the ball. Take the trade. You'll thank me later.

	Take the trade. Sooner or later Ryan Howard is going go to get hot. And with the Phillies offense he's going to have a ton of RBI chances.

	Overall, Howard by himself should put up better numbers than Lee when the season is over. Take the deal ASAP. There is a reason why Howard was a 1st round draft pick.

	Take it. Didn't Howard hit 50 HR's in a terrible season last year? Plus, you're getting a stud in Hamels and D.Lee won't stay hot all year.

	Whoever made that offer is not very smart. Howard is going to get hot and still have a great year. He started out slow last year as well. It wasn't this slow, but nontheless it was slow. You are getting back two studs for one. It's not even a question. I would even take Howard for Lee straight up. You are getting a bonus stud.
