Am I crazy to even consider this?

Postby ccsammy21 » Mon Apr 27, 2009 12:02 am

Someone offered Greinke for Fielder. My pitching is really struggling right now since Webb and Kuroda are on the DL and Greinke has been on fire. Obviously he'll dip some and the owner is selling high, but I'm a Greinke believer. Should I ask for more, perhaps a closer?

It would obviously sap some of my power, but I have Loney to fill in.

If you feel comfortable enough with your hitting, do it. I tried like hell to trade for Greinke in the off-season, could not pry him away

If you are in bad shape with HR no. If you can handle it then I would do it. But just know he will fall off a little bit and every year so far he has thrown in a 5era month. If you think he is over it and is ready to take the next step to ace then do it.

It would help if I saw your offense, but I think Greinke is freaking legit and I would do it.

C-Saltalamacchia
1B- Fielder
2B- Uggla
3B- Miguel Cabrera
SS- Tulowitzki
OF- Kemp
OF- Ellsbury
OF- Adam Jones
Util- Werth
B- M. Bradley
B- J. Loney

My power would definitely take a hit. But there are some bats with pop on the FA list like Thome and Jacobs.
