i dunno.. I think i'd stay put. You're giving up the best player in braun.

Do I need to make a move, my pitching is pretty weak!

[zepfan]

I don't think your pitching is bad enough that you really have to make a move this early and I would also be a little reluctant to move Braun for a pitcher. Beckett and Shields are both solid #2 pitchers and Baker should be a solid #3 I think. I would probably hope to find a hidden gem for cheap on waivers before I make that kind of blockbuster trade lol.

Having said that though, you could do a lot worse than Johan and Mclouth for Braun and Fuentes so if you're the type that likes to make blockbusters, this would be a good one. If it was me, I would wait though.

I think the McLouth for Fuentes bit on the side balances the trade a little bit, but I'd rather have Braun over Johan, which is good enough difference to stay put. I wouldn't be too concerned about your pitching either even though you could use one more quality starter.
