I say take a stab at Beckett, then if you can take this. It's not a make-or-break deal for your team, but it'd definitely help.

I would try to get a better pitcher than Garza, obv beckett would be nice to add to that deal. The deal itself isn't bad, not sure what place u r in, but if you feel u need to make a move wouldn't be a bad trade for you.

I would only do it if you could get a better pitcher than Garza in the deal. Beckett would do the trick and if you could get him I would pull the trigger. I Just like Bills way too much even though getting ARod would be awesome. It is close but I would try to counter first and see what happens.

please help again: Should I counter with Maholm or someone instead of Slowey or Scherzer or just do the deal the way it stands?
