I guess you could, but where would you play him? Who would you bench?

That's why I don't like 10 team leagues, you pretty much get a top player at every position, where is the challenge?

Yes!!!!!!!!!! I'd much rather have Beltran in that Utility spot than Wells. And with so many closers you can afford it...just remember that BRIAN WILSON had as many saves as Papelbon last year! Cant predict them...

Thoughts on mine please

Wow, like closers? Though the value in the deal is immense for you, you will be stuck without a backup for Arod, who will obviously be out till mid-May.
You are doing the right thing by trying to move your RP depth, but you would need to have a decent option on the WW atleast for 3B.
Or, work on another deal of moving a RP for a 3B.
Beltran is just the type of player that you should target, but your OF is a bit overcrowded too. I would look to move one of your OFers and RPs for a 3B fill-in AND a top 10-15 SP.
You are in a great situation with the depth at these spots.

Do it. Beltran is a big upgrade over Wells and saves are easy to come by in a league that small.

Help w/mine?
