Take Holliday for A-Rod?

Postby Slayer Rules » Sat Apr 11, 2009 3:42 pm

My roster is below.

I'm leaning 'no' but I don't think it's as simple as I first thought.

I understand on the face of it that A-Rod is more valuable simply because he plays 3B. However, A-Rod carries a lot of risk, as you all know.

I also realize that Holliday doesn't carry the value he used to, being in Oakland and all. However it's highly possible he doesn't stay there all season. It also is going to take some time for him to get acclimated to AL pitching, a la Miggy last year.

What would "The Cafe Community" do? Just curious....thanks

Stick with ARod. Latest reports have him back even earlier then expected. Holliday just isn't in the same league. I have a feeling A-Rod will still outproduce him...even after missing a month.
