Would You Trade Carlos Beltran for Chone Figgins?

Question

A manager in my league has offered me this trade and my initial reaction was no...but I have eric byrnes coming off the DL fairly soon and he could take beltran's spot and I could plug in figgins somewhere (either 3rd, utility, infield or outfield), so I have been contemplating it a little. This move would virtually guarantee me a win in the steals category. Any thoughts? Should ask for more in return?

Answer 1

As poor a year as Carlos is having I still wouldn't make that trade. There are more dimensions to his game than with Chone's. One thing I've noticed about Beltran is he's a very streaky hitter and he's due for a hot streak

Answer 2

Don't do it.  You can find cheap speed.

Answer 3

bad trade. you can get a lot more for beltran. Look to get someone like Carlos Lee, Magglio Ordonez...

Answer 4

Beltran does it all though. Figgins won't get you the RBI's and Hr's that Beltran gets. Figgins always seems to get hurt somehow too. It would be easier to answer this question if I knew who was on your team.

Answer 5

terrible trade

Answer 6

Ask for way more. Figgins's position is the DL for the most part.

Answer 7

CARLOS BELTRAN FOR CHONE FIGGANS. NOPE I WOULDN'T
