It's close, but I would side with the better hitter Holliday and National League pitcher Oswalt in this deal.

*though in a keeper I like the other side better.

Any other thoughts? I'm leaning towards doing it but I'm just not sure about Bruce's upside and Oswalt's injury risk/falling numbers due to old age.

One thing to keep in mind is that our league has 6 hitting categories (including hits) and 4 pitching categories (dropping WHIP).

Agreed, in a keeper I'd want Bruce, but in a non-keeper, Holliday is definitely the safer/better pick.

Keeper or not...take Holliday + Oswalt!

Holliday will not end the year in Oakland, oswalt pitches is one of the weakest hitting division in baseball!
