i'm not sure what you're asking. you don't have greinke do you? i wouldn't trade oswalt for greinke if that's the question. if greinke is available, i would grab him FAST. drop davies or sonnastine, even hafner for him.

help me please: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=378565&p=3033157#p3033157

I am basically asking: would you trade Oswalt for Greinke?

You're basically buying high on Grienke and selling low on Oswalt.

Id like to see a bit more from Grienke this year before I buy into the hype. I think he's an excellent pitcher but Oswalt is still a tier above him IMO.

I would probably take Greinke but I think by the end of the season both are going to be similar in value. So go with ever one you like more. I guess I like Greinke because he seems to be less of an injury risk.

Oswalt has started slow before and then put it together. I wouldn't panic just yet. I do love Greinke for the year, but with Oswalt's career consistency, I'd look to get a little more for him than just Greinke (which would be tough with Oswalt's bad start).

Good luck!
