I traded Trout, Ellsbury, Mauer and Bauer for Votto, Gio, Papelbon, Doumit and much better draft picks.

You could really crash and burn with both Halladay and Greinke as completely vital pieces of your rotation. Votto-Cano-Beltre is obviously fantastic, but depth could really be a problem.

Last year I was in burn-it-to-the-ground rebuild mode. Fortunately I acquired Trout in camp. Matt Harrison was my SP2 and a cast of thousands at SP3.

Interesting though. Halladay, Grienke and Gio are almost always tiered together. No one comments on Gio, except when the PED flap was going on. Now, that falls on Cano.

Gio is great, assuming nothing happens to him with the Biogenesis thing.

That seems to be the attitude, but it is not reflected in ADP or rankings.

I happen to be stoked on Grienke this year. In the NL and in a pitcher's park, his volatility is less dangerous. He will still bring the K's and IP.
