Don't know that I'd trade Crawford straight up for Greinke without asking for more... I personally think Crawford is quite a bit more valuable than Greinke because of pitching inconsistencies vs. hitters, so I don't think I'd do that deal straight up even if it does boost your staff tremendously... I would try to package Crawford with Bucholtz, Peavy, or Lee and try to snag a Greinke type and a solid hitter in a 2 for 2.

Help me out here:

Definitely not, Crawford is more valuable and you already have a plethora of starters.

I like Greinke more than Crawford, generally, but you already have quite a bit of pitching...

crawford in his walk year is poised to have a monster season. greinke's psyche is an issue. plus hitters tend to be more consistent than pitchers. i wouldn't do this trade.

Depends on how shallow the league is but if it's a basic format you gotta keep Crawford.

I'd keep Crawford, if you weren't already doing well with pitching I'd consider it though.

No need for you to get Greinke here. Your pitching is killer.

Help me?
