Greinke - is he that good ?

Selling high & buying low, I like it. ;-D

I like it. Flipping Greinke for a 1st/2nd round talent like Rollins is nice.

I think Greinke is maybe not THAT good, but I think he's definitely a breakout candidate this year and can put up stats like C. Lee did last year. Rollins is not that bad, but I think he is regressing. I think you're giving up too much in that deal since Peralta isn't that bad himself. Parra has the talent to be pretty good, but he's just not consistent enough...and neither are the Brewer bats.

As was said - this has the makings of a wise move. Selling high, and buying low. No way this deal gets made if both guys are doing their usual thing. I think grienke looks great so far, and, you could easily wind up losing this deal....he could win every game from here on out, rollins could regress to an avg SS. But, going on the best info you have right now, this is a deal to make (depending on your roster, I suppose.)
That said - as long as you don't risk sinking the whole thing, maybe you could get a bit more thrown in to make you feel better --- just a little additional 2 players where you win by a bit to help you sleep better.

I think its a good move. Like others have said this is a classic example of buying low/selling high. Rollins will come out of this slump. Plus he will produce batting in that lineup and playing at hitter friendly citizens bank park (runs, steals and some power).

Please help with mine!

I'd wait for signs that Rollins is just slumping and not injured. And, people have been waiting for Greinke to do this kind of stuff for years. You could be buying low. Or you could be giving away a top-10 starter for a has-been.
