Trading for SP

Postby sleepyadam702 » Fri May 21, 2010 1:27 pm

I was offered the following trade: My Beckett and Capps for His Danks and Lackey. My pitching is really struggling (whole team struggling) and i'm not sure what will happen with beckett. I think I like this trade and want to know what others think.
He also has the following pitchers, Latos, Hughes, Jaime Garcia, Billingsley

The Red Sox strategy historically has been to have one of their six starters on the DL at different points during the year to have them rested for the end of the year. I don't believe Beckett will be back in two weeks. That being said, the same thing may happen to Lackey.

However, I do like the trade for you overall. I think Lackey will be almost as good as Beckett (and safer) the rest of the year, and Capps will lose his job if the Nats fall out of the race.
