I keep Holliday. Your outfield is already a bit thin and replacing Holliday with a one-trick pony like Bourn is just too great a loss to make up for the upgrade of Verlander over Cecil. I'd stay put.

I'd go for it. I think your lineup can withstand the loss of Holliday and your pitching staff could use a definite number 2 behind Carpenter.

I don't think your lineup can afford the loss of Holliday especially since you are getting absolutely no power in return. I always prefer the hitter over the pitcher.

Since this is a H2H league, I'd definitely make that trade. From the looks of your roster, I don't think Holliday's power really makes that much of a difference. I don't really see your roster competing in the HR cat so I'd probably just try and bolster the R, Stl cats and Bourn does that. And Verlander is a huge upgrade over Cecil IMO. I think this trade makes a lot of sense for your team's needs.
