Ok, you guys know the drill:

HIS: Arod, Scherzer
for MY: Holliday, Lind, Carpenter, Street

My team:
C: Weiters
1B: Howard
2B: Barmes
3B: M-Cab
SS: Hanley
OF: Soriano
OF: Hart
OF: Holliday
Util: Lind
Util: Cruz
Util: Ludwick
Bench: Lowell
DL: As. Cabrera

SP: Carpenter
SP: Garza
RP: Street
RP: Gregg
P: Soriano
P: Ubaldo
P: Nolasco
Bench: Slowey
Bench: Joba
Bench: Hanson
Bench: Richmond
DL: Lidge

I've been practically streaming pitching since I know I don't have a chance at ERA/WHIP anyway, so losing Carp isn't a big deal for me. I have a feeling I'm still getting ripped off though. What do you guys think?

Just got word he'd also accept Lidge instead of Street.

stay away from arod. his hip is not healed. and holliday will not get back to colorado numbers, but he will be better than he has been. and he'll probably be traded to a contender soon. mabey the mets? or yankees? either way if he leaves oakland it will be good for his numbers.

If streaming is your game then Id recommend you doing the deal. Carpenter to me is the hardest thing to lose in this deal but that doesnt seem to affect you much. Arod will get back on track at some point so the deal imo is worth the risk involved.

I think A-Rod is fading... I was glad to get rid of him last week while I could still get some solid value for him. I'd rather have Holliday, plus I think Holliday will get traded to a contender by the trading deadline and do some damage. I'm also a Lind fan.
