Would you dare trade Matt Holliday for Devin Mesoraco? I need a catcher and he looks like a real breakout but I am wary. I am also down on Holliday and put him on the block but the other sniff of interest comes via Mesoraco.

No. Take this for what it's worth because I'm generally anti-catcher. Mesoraco had a nice power month in May with 5 HRs, but he hit .239 in May (.286 OBP). April was insane at .468. June has been .167 in 12 ABs. While he might be breaking out, it looks to me like it was a one month breakout and an undetermined rest of season. -
What if it were Posey? I don't think I would do it for Mesoraco either I just wanted to make sure the 'pen didnt see something I was missing.Find that level above your head and help you reach it.Comment

I guess it depends on your current catcher. I like Mesoraco, but i doubt i would deal Holliday for him unless he would be a significant upgrade."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

That's tough. The upgrade from Norris to Mesoraco might not be much, if any, over the course of the season. Depends on how much Norris plays. Holliday is pretty mediocre thus far but doesn't he usually heat up as the season goes along?
I wouldn't make the trade."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

Absolutely not. Holliday will go on a streak and get his power numbers back near expectations. I own both and like Mesoraco, but no way would I give up Holliday for him. As for Posey, it would depend on who your replacement OF will be.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing.

Then I'd say the upgrade at C is greater than the downgrade at OF. Cuddyer has been hot, Dickerson is good if he can get enough ABs.Originally posted by DJBeasties View PostIf DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing.

With that kind of OF depth how about Cespedes for Posey?Comment

Cuddyer back on the DL, may be a long stretch this time. If that's Gregory Polanco, heck yes, offer Holliday in trade for Posey.
