When Can Matt Holliday Owners Press the Panic Button?

Postby ReincarnatedIntoCansecoBiceps » Sun Apr 26, 2009 2:33 am

My hands are shaking like a crackhead's in an alley behind the liquor store, and I have my fingers pointed out against that big red button with sweat dripping from my forehead. I am extremely tempted to press the button. If owners in my league still have Matt Holliday 2008 fresh in their minds, I would trade him in a heartbeat. But at this point, you'd be lucky to get a Jason Werth back in a trade. What do we make of Holliday's astronomically atrocious start? Should we trade him before it becomes more and more clear Holliday won't even be a top 100 player to get at least something back, or do we keep our sweaty palms under our butts, and continue to watch Holliday at the plate as our eyes slowly melt? And does religion become a factor into this? Should we begin praying to our almighty gods that if Holliday can at least hit .280, 15 homerunes, 10 sb, 80 rbis, 80 runs then we will lead the solitary, toiled life of a bishop after the 2009 fantasy baseball season for the rest of our lives? Should we take a page out of the Miguel Cabrera 2008 book and realize things will come around in the end? Matt Holliday, you are truly an enigma, and the very bane of my existence. When will you be my savior? If ever. Godspeed Matt Holliday owners, godspeed.

If it was me that owned Holliday (thank god i dont :) ). I would hang onto him as the value you would get in return probably wouldnt be as much if he turns it around. But hey, Magglio hit his 1st HR of the year and Abreu doesn't have one yet either.

I didn't think going from hitting in Colorado to anywhere else would be THAT big of a difference.
Sorry dude..

if you can get Bay that is a safe trade off - I think at this point you have no choice though but to hold Holliday otherwise you are more than likely selling low
