I wouldn't. I have Blanton in another league and while he's been great he's no Greinke. I'm not so sure McCutcheon is a huge drop off from McLouth these days. I passed on a chance to get Greinke earlier this year and have kicked myself ever since. I'm a Blanton owner, and the gap between Greinke and Blanton is enormous.

Please see mine

McClouth is not good and Greinke is way above Blanton.
I can guarantee you that you can find a better outfielder then Mclouth on your waiver.

You could get a way better OF for Greinke straight up. Don't do it. Try to get Ellsbury if you want speed.
Here's the pitch on the way, a swing and a belt! Left field! Way back! BLUE JAYS WIN!

This is not a good trade. Greinke is ranked number 5 in ygame right now. You can definitely get a much better outfielder than mclouth who is ranked 90 in ygame.

I would target:
crawford, braun, kemp, upton, etc....

You should pretty much be able to fill any position with one of the top players at that position trading greinke. If you want 2 players for greinke then look for players in the 30-50 range and match up with a SP.

help me

I would pass on that deal. If you are wanting to trade Greinke for an outfielder, ask for Crawford or Braun in return.

I would trade Greinke, he is on a terrible team and won't win any games, plus he won't be as good as he was in the first half. Look to trade him along with Pence and get a solid SP (Lackey, Hamels, Cliff Lee), along with a good outfielder.

Help with mine?
