Should I trade Felix Hernandez for Lance Berkman?

Question

I have Prince Fielder and Nick Swisher as my 1B and U.  I have Manny Ramirez, Ichiro and Andrew Jones as my OF.  One of them would have to go to the bench and my pitching staff is nice (D.Willis, Sabathia, Hudson, Capuano, Hoffman).  I'm just afraid of King Felix's injury.  Should I get the big bat for him or stay put?

Position players will score for you every day.  Berkman plays 81 times in a great hitters park.  He is eligible at two positions, plus utility.

Hernandez is hurt, you do not know how soon he'll be back.  Can you say Mark Prior?

Make the trade.

Well Nick Swisher just went out with a hamstring injury so I would start by dropping him. If you have a DL spot, I would put Felix there and wait for him to come back, and then go to FA for a replacement in your UTIL spot in replacement of Swisher.

So I say No Deal.

You have Manny, Ichiro, and Jones...you really don't NEED Berkman. Hold on to Felix or trade for something else.

if thats what you are getting offered i may take it. berkman is off to an incredibly slow start but he will light up. plus im sure u can find a SP in FA that can fill it. maybe a braden looper or randy wolf. also tom g (cant spell his name but plays for the pirates) is also a good pickup.
