Blanton and Haren on the trade block

[madtowndrunkard]

I'd take either pitcher, but I'd prefer Haren I think over Blanton. If we deal Cappy like many think then maybe there's a need. I personally will be shocked if Ben Sheets is in a Brewer uniform next year so maybe going after one of these guys makes a lot of sense?

 

At the moment we've got 6 starters: Sheets, Gallardo, Suppan, Bush, Cappy, and Villanueva. Parra isn't ready just yet and I think unless there is an injury he'll be in the minors till Sept. I have a hunch that Ned would like to keep CV in the bullpen and as a spot starter. So if we did deal Cappy and CV stayed in the bull pen then we'd need another starter.

 

Sheets, Haren, Gallardo, Suppan, Bush would be an AWESOME rotation.

 

 

If we deal Sheets and Cappy then we could put CV in the rotation and acquire Haren. I'd personally take Haren over sheets anyday.

Haren will only be dealt if Beane can get a pair of very good young players. I doubt if Parra and Laporta would do it myself.

How can you be so strong in your conviction? Its not hard to see the pros and cons of both sides, I don't think. And knowing that its rather difficult to pull off a trade even when you want to trade a player, I think shocked is overly strong.
