I don't think it matters if you make this deal or not, your team is stacked.

I honestly don't know what to say. Don't do it because then you wouldn't have a 3B. Do it and have the best fantasy player overall. You should win no matter what.

I wouldn't trade for Holliday in a keeper myself, unless i got him dirt cheap.

[fast dogs]

you could lose Utley & barely notice.
generally I'd say you pick up alot of youth in the fairly even swap & do it. if you want to give the rest of the league a better chance in 2011 don't do it.

Yup - I think it's pretty even deal for 2009 (might tilt *slightly* in his favor). After that, though, I think you win by a lot.

4 team league keeper?

[jlm53089]

forget holliday.
Keep what you have.
But may I ask how many teams are in this league?

[Seanyfever]

I am still interested in othe rinput, especially in termsof Holliday's production.

In terms of number of teams we have 14 teams actually. We are in the sixth year, where we hacve cut back pretty good in keepers as 4-5 teams were getting pretty strong as compared to some of the others. The last two teams in our league a a tad ugly. How'd I get here? Some timing trading of veteran players to get young players, and some lucky drafting that turned out staars. I remember drafting Liriano, Verlander, and Papelbon all in one year towards the later half of draft. I knew there was hype, but I was definitely ahead of the most, who thought a year or two away. Bang! Hit the target dead on and prospered through trades afterwards. The best and toughest trade... tough only because my buddy got burned was more than a few years back when I trading him Gagne and Mulder for Vladdy and I can't recall when Gagne was gold and Mulder was silver. Both guys got hurt that year. Tough for him.

Any ways. Leave a link and I can help anyone out in terms of trading opinions.

Since I've done my projections since I answered in Nov, I'll rescind my vote on CC and change it to Peavy.
