Who would you trade Braun for straight up

[ILuvDaBush]

Let me ask you guys this question, would you trade Braun straight-up for a starting pitcher who put up:

 

230IP

270K

53BB

161H

with an "unsightly" ERA of 1.85

 

Would that be worth Braun?

Unfortunately, this starting pitcher has been miscast in the role he so ably filled tonight.

Papelbon's numbers wouldn't be nearly as good as a starter and this point we don't even know if he could go 200 IP on a regular basis. I wouldn't trade Braun for him as a closer though.

Well find me a lower career ERA for a pitcher with at least 200IP in the last 100 years. He has never failed as a starter, and he has always had the high K numbers. But I do agreew with you; he isn't worth Braun unless you see him as a starter, which I do.
