Holliday for Crawford?

[NYgiantsfan5689]

–Matt Holliday, barring a dramatic reversal, will be traded this winter. General manager Dan O’Dowd made it clear Tuesday that he’s not afraid to play kids or unproven players when I asked him about starting Ian Stewart, Seth Smith and Ryan Spilborghs in the same lineup. Holliday should fetch a big return, but there’s no perfect deal out there. The Rockies want pitching which is why they have spoken with the Rays, who could part with Edwin Jackson or Andy Sonnanstine. Carl Crawford’s name has also surfaced as someone the Rays might be willing to give up for Holliday.

Linky linky

I really don't see the point in trading Crawford for Holliday. To me that seems like trading 2 apples for 2 apples, and Crawford's basically one of the faces of a franchise on the rise and just went to the World Series. If anything, they would want to ADD the two together to make on hell of an outfield. I also don't see why the Rays would want to trade Sonnanstine, but Jackson would make sense to me.

Edwin Jackson pitching in Coors Field = priceless

[browntown653]

Yeah, until he 2-hits the Dodgers.

Priceless!

Seth Smith, a star's name right there.

Yeah, until he 2-hits the Dodgers.

That's ok. Their bullpen still sucks.

Rays couldn't afford Holliday so this makes no sense to even start with.
