I like the idea on buying low on Hanley. Just don't buy the fact he's suddenly at age 27 forgotten how to hit the ball. Expect him to come back quite strong after his recent DL trip.

Really. 27 is the age when players are to have their breakout year, well, he's beyond that. I'll take a down year (half year) of him, considering he's back to batting .300+ with 25hr next season. Or, even a turnaround (breakout) half season from here on out I'd say is more than 50% likely.
"Don't worry, the fans don't start booing until July."
Gosh, I would try to work something else out. I have both on my team, and Matt Holliday was my best and most consistent player prior to going on the DL. I don't see him slowing down and I don't think I would trade him away.
By this point, I am worried if there is something wrong with Hanley (injury, mental issues such as a divorce - has been shown to lead to down years from players). That being said, at a position such as SS, and the ability Hanley has, I take the chance and roll with it.
In a keeper league I would definitely go with Hanley. Even just for this year, I'd still take Hanley. There's no way to know exactly what either of the two will do for the rest of this year, but I think Hanley has the higher ceiling from here on in.
Agree with all the above however i dont know how long Hanley will remain at SS which does hurt his long term value a bit. Still, even if he does move to the OF if he returns to his normal numbers he is still more valuable that Holliday
The Marlins are moving into a new stadium next year. Anybody know if its going to be a hitter or pitchers park? Will this help or hurt Rameriz next year?
