Heyward and Vazquez for Holliday? WHIR

[Bravos of Steel]

Hey guys,

I was offered Jason Heyward and Javier Vazquez for Matt Holliday. I'm a Bravo fan and I expect big things from Heyward, but am I giving up too much in Holliday. I'm in a 12 team H2H KEEPER league, 4 keepers, standard scoring. Leave a link guys, and I'll definitely give you my all!

I like Heyward alot as well. That being said, Vazquez really could be this terrible. I think you could get more as you're trading your best keeper. Since you only keep 4, keeping Heyward next year (and yes he'd be top 4 for you) is still a risk. maybe include a lower level pitcher and see if he'll give you an elite pitcher in return? Thank you for the help.

I think your OF will suffer a little, but If Heyward lives up to the hype you will be rewarded in the end. I think Vazquez will be ok after he gets over his mental issues of pitching in a NY uniform. Javier needs a good outing fast or the NY fans are going to turn on him, then he may not recover.

In a redraft NO, in a Keeper YES

While I really like Heyward...and like him even more in a keeper league, I'd try to get another SP than Vazquez. Holliday is still a top OF and should be for at least the next few years. I'm just not confident in Vazquez to turn it around.

please help:

Yup, tell him you'll do the trade if he gives you a better pitcher then Javier. He's trying to unload a guy who has always been a little overrated. So stay put unless he upgrades the pitcher. Good luck!!

I agree. Maybe you can post his SP's.

Matt Holiday is a top outfielder, and he had a hot start. Not sure if he can keep things up, or he just hit a bump in the road. I love him and Heyward though. Not big on vazquez pitching in NY though, if you get a better pitcher, I would say do it. Because in a keeper, the drop form Matt Hol. is big to Heyward right now.
