Comments on: Red Sox To Make Offer For Carlos Beltran? http://metsmerizedonline.com/2009/10/red-sox-to-make-offer-for-carlos-beltran.html A New York Mets Blog For Diehard Mets Fans Fri, 19 Mar 2010 15:10:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Bob L http://metsmerizedonline.com/2009/10/red-sox-to-make-offer-for-carlos-beltran.html/comment-page-1#comment-31212 Bob L Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:32:59 +0000 http://metsmerizedonline.com/?p=14991#comment-31212 i would trade Beltran to the BOSOX for Bucholz, whom i think is on the cusp of being a #1 or #2 starter, Ryan Kalish, LF, 22 next year, with a promising bat,and Fabian Williamson, 22 in October, 2010, a low A prospect with drooling potential. And substitute either solid-hitting Daniel Nava, 27 next year, OF, or Eammon Portice for Kalish. Portice will be 25 in '10, was in high A, and is a pitcher with interesting potential. Bucholz, however, must be in the deal. Beltran will be 33 next April, is injury-prone, and has likely peaked. i believe Theo Epstein would do the deal, and i think it would benefit the Mets over the next 1 - 3 years, and into the long term. i would trade Beltran to the BOSOX for Bucholz, whom i think is on the cusp of being a #1 or #2 starter, Ryan Kalish, LF, 22 next year, with a promising bat,and Fabian Williamson, 22 in October, 2010, a low A prospect with drooling potential.

But your idea is in the right direction. A good GM who strike a deal with the Sox. Ellsbury and Lester or Buckholz make a good target as long as we put the right pieces in. And think of striking a deal that involves Youkilis (fat chance, right?) Steve, We won’t be getting Materson from the BoSox since he was traded to the Tribe a while back.

Getting good pitching is a great idea. Not complementing it with great infield defense kind of waters down a great idea.

He not only isn't worth the money. He stinks. He is mailing it in. I would go for this if Wells had not out and out stunk. He not only isn’t worth the money. He stinks. He is mailing it in.

WHATEVER U THINK OF THE FRONTOFFICE IT'S TRUE THEY WOULD NEVER GET THE BETTER END OF DEALING BELTRAN AT THIS JUNCTURE. ARGUABLY THIS TEAM IS 2 ACQUIRABLE PLAYERS AWAY FROM BEING THE BEST THAY'VE EVER BEEN. NOTICE I SAY ARGUABLY. LET'S DREAM FOR A MOMENT & ASSUME THEY SOMEHOW ACQUIRED HALLADAY & FIELDER. PLAUSABLE? NO. IMPOSSIBLE? AGAIN, NO! SO HOW DO U CONTEMPLATE DESTROYING A ROSTER THAT CLOSE? CAN'T TRADE FOR BOTH? OK. WHAT IF THEY TRADE FOR FIELDER & SIGN LACKEY GETTING HALLADAY LEVEL NUMBERS OUT OF LACKEY? STILL A FAVORITE, NO? JUST LIKE SPENDING MORE DOESN'T REDUCE YOUR DEBT. TAKING AWAY MORE DOESN'T COMPLETE YOUR HOLE-FILLED TEAM.

Neither do the Red Sox, so this ain't flying. They're not about to toss Pedroia in a trade that has Reyes in it with only one leg that works. Do you remember it's Theo calling the shots? ” Remember you don’t know what Reyes is going to be anymore”…

But they have to throw in a good pitching prospect since Reyes and Beltran are considered top star and Elsbury hardly is. You think its crazy? We get younger, less injury prone and get talent that fits 'the Cavern' (aka Wilpon's Dodger Folly). We'd have the talent to win now provided of course we get the solid # 2 starter and Holiday in left. Remember you don't know what Reyes is going to be anymore and Beltran is still good but beat-up.
