I would do it Holliday will probably put up .280-.290 25 hrs in Oakland so his value will be dimishing quick, plus you can pick up a sleeper like Volstad or even Maholm who is better than Greinke on the ERA WHIP stats

Comment on mine, please?

If this league is a keeper league, I would not do the trade.

I think Holiday will get traded at the deadline to a contender. He'll be on a better team next year.

Greinke could be a #1 SP next year.

So, I think Holiday and Greinke could both be kept. I think Holiday could be a late second/ early third round pick next year, and Greinke could be a late fourth/early fifth round SP. Next year Cabrera will probably lose his 3b elgibilty.

If its not a keeper, do the trade, and I would pick up Sonnanstine to replace Greinke until you can trade for another SP

Please help with mine. viewtopic.php?t=372900

This is a NON-Keeper (sorry for not specifying)

Anyone else?

Haha, well I guess I don't feel like it's as cut and dry as you do.
In fact if I didn't need the help at 3B/CI....I probably would not do this trade, as I do not think the numbers difference between MCab and Holliday is worth an entire Zach Greinke.

Right...but people seem to be leaving out that it's not a straight trade of Hollday for MCab.
Obviously if it was it would be a no brainer.
Greinke is also changing hands here.
