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.

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.

Yesterday we learned from Joel Sherman that the Phillies have some interest in Rays center fielder B.J. Upton, but most calls are coming from the Nationals, Braves, Pirates, Reds, and Cardinals, with the Royals also in the mix. Today's latest:

  • The Rays are "asking for a ton" for Upton, an AL official tells Joel Sherman of the New York Post. The official says the Rays are "definitely shopping him." Five teams are "in play" for Upton, a source tells Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (Twitter link).

I think Upton is better, but the difference isn't significant enough to warrant trading away talent to get the small upgrade.

I think he'd play in a corner if we traded for him. I don't think his bat plays very well in left (though still better than our current situation).

Ubaldo is going to blow his elbow in the next couple years.

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)

Apparently the Braves want Beltran first, then Upton, then Pence.
