Trading Carlos Beltran

[Tom Sellecks Beautiful Mustache]

Trying to get a quality SP with good K/9 to replace Peavy (tears). Other team is offering Javier Vazquez, Clayton Kershaw or Scherzer. Is Beltran worth Vazquez at this point?

I'd say that would be about right. Depends what you think Carlos can do when/if he comes back.

Beltran is a risk, but I would take the chance. He is a terrific player and I always take a good hitter over a good pitcher.

Help with mine?

Just to clarify, I would be trading Beltran to get Vazquez. Anyone else think this is a fair deal?

I'm in second place by about 5 points in my league. My ERA, WHIP and K's are going to start falling off as I'm presently 65 innings over. My current plan is to grab someone like Vazquez, and then trade away Scott Baker to get JP Howell. That way my ratios get lower, my K rate spikes and I can manage my innings.

The rest of my OF looks like this:

Ibanez, Lind, Markakis, Willingham, Hart

Bench: Chris B. Young, Marcus Thames, Reimold

tough call. that said, I think you can survive without beltran and vazquez is very solid. I make the deal, and I would try to move joba or baker for a solid OF or utility option rather than a closer.
