I get: Carlos Beltran Robinson Cano Javier Vazquez
My OF is very weak and my pitching is strong so i don't mind getting rid of Peavy. Im thinking Cano and Vazquez will bounce back this year, but what is your opinion on this trade.
Beltran >>>>> Damon Cano << Roberts Peavy > Vazquez
The extra > in the Beltran side makes up for the differences in the less thans for the other two your are getting. I feel Vazquez is in for a big year with ATL, and while I have never been a fan of Cano, his counting stats should be nice in the Yanks' line-up. You are getting a 2nd rounder and two nice upside guys for a 4th rounder, 5th rounder, and an OF on the decline.
I'm not as big of a fan of Vazquez as others but i'm not a big fan of Peavy either. That said, i think this is a decent trade for you, esp if you can afford to give up Peavy. You're getting the best player in that trade w/ Beltran, a fact I always keep in mind when doing multi-player trades.
I also like the trade for you, like stated before, you're getting the best player involved and the hit you take in pitching and 2B isn't so severe. Do it

I agree. While the 2 players you're getting less value in hurt, the value in Beltran vs. Damon more thanmakes up for it. Also, I think Cano will have a pretty nice bounce-back year and be a little closer to Roberts than you think.
my main problem with this trade isthat Damon and Roberts are the only ones with more than 5 steals in my entire lineup.... You think I should go for a speedy OF instead?
