BJ Upton, Matt Holliday Trade 100% WHIR

Postby dopkin » Tue May 29, 2012 5:29 pm

Heres the deal on the table:

I give:
BJ Upton
Chris Capuano

I get:
Matt Holliday


Yes/no? Why? My offense has been lackluster so far, I have Kemp coming back today and may be getting Bautista as well (Lawrie+Kershaw for Bautista+Gallardo).

Drop a link, I'll respond to everything :-D

Accept this deal immediately, especially if you need power. Holliday is a great hitter, and its def worth giving up capuano to upgrade from BJ Upton to Holliday imo.

I expect a huge amount of regression from Cap soon. For that reason, I'd definitely accept.

I don't trust Cap to keep up his pace. Holliday started slowly, perhaps an adjustment to not having Pujols around him in the lineup. Regardless he's hitting now and winds up with better numbers than Upton by seasons end. Love the trade for you.

hmmmm, i'm torn here. i think BJ has figured things out. he's adjusted his stance and while he won't hit .300+, he's a better bet for .270 than his customary .240, with 20+ Hr pop and 40+ steal potential, i'd weirdly take him over holliday, myself. or shoot higher than holliday (granderson if you're looking for power, e.g.)

I would definitely take this trade! Holliday is going to provide better numbers for you than Upton will. I've never been a fan of Upton as the BA is just not there and his attitude isn't the greatest. Cap will regress, he's just been way too good and he's bound to come back to earth. This is a definite good deal for you.

Can you help with this Pujols deal?

upton could be 20/20 but cap will fad out.

holliday is in a nice lineup with a lot of protection i like any power hitter on the cardinals right now.

take the deal.
