G.Stanton for J.Zimmermann

I was offered G.Stanton for J.Zimmermann in my H2H 12 team league, what do you guys think?  my starting pitching includes Masterson, CJ Wilson, Lackey, Dickey and Beachy. And my outfielders are Harper, Parra, Reddick and Trumbo (I would probably move Trumbo to 1st base).

My concerns are that Stanton won't stay healthy, and that Zimmermann's K/9 are low so he has to be on for him to be effective. 

I don't know a lot about Stanton but his projections look great.  Any advice?

I have great love for Stanton. I would trade almost any pitcher for Stanton.

Stanton has really tended to heat in the second half so far in his career, and he's the more desirable h2h player. The other concerns are that he won't see a lot of pitches to hit and won't score many runs when he's not driving himself in, but the freakshow power is very real.
