So there's this commercial running on ESPN. It's John C. McGineley (or some of you may know him as Dr. Cox) as the voice over. He says "ESPN.com slash" (then there's a visual after each pause of a person in a 'box' corresponding to the voice over) "fantasy baseball" (visual of Grady Sizemore) "Rumors" (visual of Buster Olney taking phone calls) "Mr. Roto's Mailbag" (visual of Matthew Berry with lots of bags full of mail) "Trades" ( a visual of Grady Sizemore and Matt Holliday)
Anyway, the whole point of me mentioning this commercial is the fact that in a fantasy baseball league someone actually traded Grady Sizemore for Matt Holliday. Who would do that? What a terrible trade! You know what, it actually makes sense because the person who gets Holliday turns out to be a chick and obviously chicks don't know baseball. Eckstein, get some more chicks in our fantasy league!

thats not a bad trade assuming holliday is in colorado. he also went 28/30 in steals last year
yeah, i agree. Holliday for Sizemore last year isnt an awful deal. Holliday scored 107 R and hit for a much higher avg too.
What I think you guys aren't getting is that this is a commercial for the 2009 baseball season, not the 2008
It's 2009 Grady for 2009 Holliday
