Cole hamels and billy wagner for?

Question

if the trade is hamels and wagner for lance berkman, how good of a player should be included on the berkman side to make it fair. Also if another trade is hamels, wagner and david wright for berkman, jay bruce and another player how good should the other player be?

Answer 1

Its tempting to give up Wagner because of his recent blown saves but the Phillies are awesome and will continue to get Hamels win.  Saves are also very valuable but in NY theyre hard to come by...Berkman is a stud though...Id say do the deal if you have pitching depth and need hitting and totally disregard the second deal thats a rip off Jay Bruce is good but hes not better than Wright.

Answer 2

I wouldnt touch that second option. Wright is too good to trade for Bruce. Get one of his better pitchers with Berkman. That would be pretty fair.
