Oh gosh yes. Then you max Sandy's value by playing him at C and bench Weiters 'til he heats up.

Greinke's gold, but this is worth it fo' sho'.

I have a thread, but it's boring; start Aramis or Morgan. Forgot the link.

With your standing in the pitching cats and need for a big power bat I'd take this deal and run.

WHIR?

Keep Greinke - the only thing Howard will lead the league in is strikeouts.

I think you could do a little better.

Flash your trade chip until they want it more, he's worth it.

It's too bad his league doesn't count batter K and does count HR RBI R. Take Howard.
