Other than trying to fleece the Giants out of one of their young power arms for Ramon Hernandez, the Reds should be standing pat for now and looking to '12.Ubaldo's velocity is down significantly since last year. He's an arm surgery waiting to happen. I don't want him.
We need an RBI guy but there really isn't one other than Beltran who isn't going to cost tons of prospects.
I really feel like the Braves need Beltran or Pence, what I consider the two extremes. Beltran, one year help, give up Minor and see what happens. Or take Pence, give up a ton, and hope he can help with a 'Multi-year' push through the division.
Upton just feels like we would give up too much and receive too little. Although the Braves could use some speed, we dont need that speed hitting .250 (ala schaefer and mccclouth)

price slowly coming down on beltran. they're off Minor, D. Brown, Wheeler, etc now. #tradedeadline
