Beltran is an old man in the OF. His best place is DH. He is on and off the DTD list with old man infirmities. And August is here where old men go on the DL a lot. No thanks.

Better to go for Bruce.

Beltran has a 2.1 WAR

Yes and that's entirely related to his offense. His defense offers negative value.

So does jay bruce. 0.7 WAR

 

[Hambombs]

Ill be suprised if we do something

 

[PhantomWarrior]

My fear is that Holland comes back and is the same Holland as before the injury. He wasn't doing well from I can recall. Need to look at numbers, maybe I am just jaded against him.

You have a valid concern. Or perhaps he will be lights out after he came back in, what, 2014?

Why? When has JD done nothing? I don't see any reason to believe it starts this year.

Got a hunch either one would be coming here to dh a lot.

Was out driving around just now. Listening to the radio and this guy came on and started talking about the deadline. He worked at MLB network I think. Forgot his name. Here is some notes of what he was saying

Any news on the Astros?

(couldn't resist, Crawler )

I think he meant today specifically. JD has already made a solid trade.

He has made some big impact last day trades when they were in contention though. I would expect him to make another move today if not some during the waiver period as well.

For now. A pulled hammy and he sits on the pine or DL like Choo.

 

[Hambombs]

So from the brewers sb nation he said the deal might be

Gallo, Mendez, Tavarez, and Trevino for Lucroy and Thornburg.

We will see what happens

Same with anyone who has a pulled hammy

Well...yeah

@Jeff passan

Sources: Mets favorites in Jay Bruce sweepstakes. Rangers and Giants remain in. Barring a blowaway offer, this could stretch to afternoon.

#Rangers have gotten sticker shock by the high prices in several of their trade talks. Might do a more modest deal if things don't change.

The #Rangers keep plugging away on Lucroy, but #Brewers might have to lower their expectations if something is going to get done today.

Yes and that's entirely related to his offense. His defense offers negative value.

Especially in late August or September when older players have a more likely chance of being DTD or worse DL.

You would have a lot of company if you are jaded against him. I appear to be one of the only ones left that still has hopes for him. Most seem to have given up on him.
