12 team, 2nd. year of 3 yr. keeper. 6X6, H2H-Auction.

The trade would be;
My-Holliday, Huff, Czam and BJ Ryan for
His-Aram, BJ Upton, Grienke and Lidge

My keepers now are Mcab,Kinsler,Furcal,Huff,C.Davis,Holliday,Hamilton,Damon
Czam,Gallardo,Lilly,RJ,BJ Ryan

All other things being equal, I like the Aram/Upton package better. But i'm assuming if it's an auction league there are also salaries attached to all these players?

Holliday > Upton (Upton will probably start slowly in '09 due to shoulder surgery)
Huff < Aram
CZam <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Greinke
Ryan < Lidge

I like the Upton side slightly better. CZam to Greinke is a big upgrade. ;-D

Upton should have a big one in '10 ;-D

Yes...Holliday-53, Huff-1, Czam-15, Ryan-1

Upton-40, Aram-24, Lidge-2, Grienke-1

with that being said, after our cut-down I will be keeping 8 hitters and 5 pitchers with or w/o the trade!! Thanks.

I think this one is a big yes. Even Upton could outproduce Holliday now that he's in Oakland.

Unless inflation is rampant, I don't think either of Holiday or Upton are even close to being worth $ 53 / $40, and should be back in the draft pool for another go 'round. That being said, I like the trade for you, because Aram/Greinke/Lidge are well worth their prices, although Aram is borderline.

I like the Upton side. He will be ready for opening day. Expect power.

I like the Upton side as well, solid trade for you. Assuming there is a significant amount of inflation i think Upton is keepable at his price while Holliday is not.

I like this trade pretty easily for you, especially considering the salaries involved. I think Holliday takes a step back now that he no longer plays in Coors. His splits were not great on the road away from the thin air.
