Trade Holliday for Rollins? WHIR

Postby acertijo » Mon Jul 27, 2009 10:31 am

Hey all,

I'm in first place in a 12 team H2H with standard 5X5 scoring. I have the opportunity to trade either Matt Holliday or Nick Markakis for Jimmy Rollins. I'm ruling out Markakis because I like him better than Holliday for the rest of the season. So what do you think, trade Holliday while he's on this mini tear for Rollins, who seems to finally have gotten his swing together?

I have my roster below. Thanks - and leave a link if you want help in return!

Martinez C
Prado 1B
Kinsler 2B
Cabrera 3B
A Ramirez SS
Ichiro OF
Markakis OF
Holliday OF
Morgan OF
Beckham B
Doumit B
Berkman DL
Grienke SP
Verlander SP
J Santana SP
Billingsley SP
Baker SP
Aardsma RP
Franklin RP
Nathan RP
Hoffman RP
Soria RP

If I were you, I don't think I would make that trade. You are definitely right about keeping Markakis too, cause he always has great 2nd halves. I just don't think what you gain from Alexei Ramirez to Rollins isn't as much as the loss from Holliday to Morgan. Also, you seem to be solid with sb's from Kinsler, Ramirez, Ichiro, and Morgan, so I would rather keep the power and rbi production that Holliday gives you than Rollins' speed.

I agree you need the power more than speed even though Rollins had 2 great power games against STL, but Rollins isn't a typical power hitter with most going solo in the leadoff spot, so you lose the RBI's that Matt Holiday gives, plus Holiday is known to steal a few bases as well

help with mine?
