If it is a 1 year pool i would do the trade. Holliday and Santana is a better choice.

Any league any settings all day long. McCann may be the best hitting catcher in the league, but he's not going to put up Matt Holiday numbers... not even close. The catcher position should be filled last in drafts, people over value it far too much.

Depends who is your catcher will be plus I only see .280 30hr from holliday which is average for OF plus I think Lincecum has a better upside than Johan

I wouild do this trade. I like Santana more than Lincecum (although its slight) and I think you have to take Holliday.

wow no one thinks of the Coors Field advantage Holliday was .280 hitter on the road, you could get that with Adam Lind this season, and he is on most waiver lists.

The Coors Field Advantage is Bunk. Coors Field is ranked the 9th most friendly hitter park in the MLB, not the first as many assume.
