My Beltran/Josh Johnson for M-Cab? WHIR

[bcbhockey68]

I still would try to hang on to JJ if at all possible, but if you can't then Dice would be better than Hawpe.

I am trying desperately to hang on to JJ, but he will not budge - he is really the only guy I can deal with for a 3rd baseman because he has Carlos Pena, Longoria, and M-Cab

I offered Holliday/JJ instead of Beltran - Reynolds and Beltre are playing pretty well lately so I guess I am not in a desperate situation and could stay put if he will not budge

Then I would break down and do it because M-cab is very much worth it IMO.

I'd make this deal as 3b looks like a big hole for you. Your pitching depth is fine enough to give up some value in JJ.

I agree with this, although I do think you are overpaying for M-Cab, I think this deal will make your team better since Reynolds is kind of a crappy 3B to have starting. It will suck to give JJ away, since he is awesome..but your pitching is still good without him.

I would prefer the hawpe deal for you, i think your pitching is solid

does josh johnson have more value than Oswalt this year?

Personally, I don't think you NEED to make a move. I'd be loathe to give up JJ, and if he's the linchpin, I'd pass...

[angels7777]

as good as M-Cab is, I am beginning to think Beltre is coming around and can adequately fill in

[angels7777]

now is trying to give me Matsui instead of Hawpe...

what if I ask him for Dice-K instead of Hawpe?

I don't think giving up Johnson is the deal breaker. I think your SP should be fine w/o him this season. But you could use help @ both corner if spots IMO. Cabrera would def. help out but I don't think Hawpe does anything for you. You can always add Abreu to starting OF and ride out J. Upton while he's hot right now. Hawpe has always been a spot starter (vs. Righties) anyways. I'd look for different hitter in return.

Any C.IF avail. on WW?
