So I'm considering offering a guy this trade. I feel like its a no brainer, Gio has been playing out of his mind and might come down a bit? Maybe? And Greinke is just as good, if not better (I think?)
I'm just still not entirely sure where I rank Gio vs Greinke.
Thoughts? Bout to send it out if you guys think its good.

i like the idea of gio not having any where to go but down, and grienke is in a hitter friendly ballpark, and as the previous poster committed, a trade at the deadline could really boost his value. I like it
I would definitely pull the trigger on that deal if you can get the other guy to agree. Love Greinke over a Gio who is way over due to regress. And Pedroia with his thumb "issue" for a Cano that should win the batting title this year imo and hasnt even come close to reaching his offensive potential yet this year? oh yeah, I'm down...only thing is that if you offered me that trade I'd prolly tell you to pound sand! lol So I don't know anything about this owner that you're offering it to but if he somehow agrees to accept that then take it and run for the hills.

I'd definitely offer this trade if you think it will be accepted. Both Pedroia/Cano and Gio/Greinke are close comparisons, but I like Cano and Greinke slightly better.
I agree with most of what has been said - I really prefer Cano Greinke side.....Greinke will have a strong 2nd half, especially if he gets traded to a contender.
I would offer the trade for sure, its looks fair, but you should come out on top, especially if Greinke gets traded or if Brewers get hot like they did last year after the all-star break, but I don't see that happening so I would hope he gets traded.
