Holy shit pull the trigger. Beckett's a sweet buy low. Vazquez is too, he's an ace, just give him some time. Helton seems a little irrelevant, and soriano is having a minor bounceback, hell, he's not gonna do anything too special, and you could completely revamp your staff. I own liriano, and thank god for it, but i dont believe in him THAT much hes still a real risk.

Yeah, that's what I was thinkin. Its definitely worth getting two quality pitchers for one

I don't think its as easy as the above posts make it sound. Liriano>Beckett, Soriano>Helton, and Vazquez continues to struggle as a Yankee. Let's just say soriano for helton is a wash. Beckett will turn it around, but is Beckett and Vazquez worth Liriano? If Liriano is healthy, he outpitches beckett, and vazquez.

Right, that's the only thing that makes me think twice about this trade. Liriano is pitching lights out and Beckett and Vazquez are both struggling

I agree, this isn't a slam dunk. Liriano looks like he's back to the ace he was before, going back all the way to the spring. He's been dominant. Vazquez is good every other year, and this was due to be one of his bad years. Beckett will probably get it together, but I like Soriano over Helton. I don't think I would do it.
