Atlanta Braves must trade for Beltran...

They are now only 3.5 games up in the Wildcard with the division pretty much out of sight. Heyward is in a terrible funk, and something needs to be done. This lineup desperately needs a boost.
Mike Minor for Beltran should be the deal. He projects no higher than a #3 starter, and no other team in the league has the depth that the Braves do.
If the Braves do not make the trade, someone else will. And it will either be the Phillies, god help us, or the Giants, who would likely be the Braves opponent in the first round of the playoffs.

Been saying this for about a week. The Braves need him more than anyone else, and the risk of losing him is more or less kissing the World Series goodbye IMO.
Beltran doesn't guarantee them the WS, but no Beltran almost certainly guarantees no WS.

Word here in Houston is that Pence is off the block, but that the Braves are working to put together a pretty tempting package together for him now. At least, that was the talk on sports radio here in Houston yesterday.

We must? Really? No way. We are going to make the playoffs without Beltran. I don't want to give up a top pitching prosepect for a 2 month rental. Let's learn from the Tex deal and not repeat history. I'd much rather have Bourn or Pence.

Where does Beltran (or Pence, for that matter) really fit with this team?
Sure, if Chipper goes down with an injury and Prado has to move back to third, then one of those two would make a great LF.
The other option is what? Platoon them with Heyward in right? If that's the case, give me someone who will cost a lot less, Marlon Byrd, Reed Johnson or some similar caliber righty.
I'm not averse to giving up a star prospect for a star return but just not a two-month rental. Minor and Schafer for Adam Jones.
Mid-level prospects for Beltran - including Parnell might cause me offer more in return.
Two months of Beltran =/= a young, controllable and inexpensive top lefty pitching prospect.

No one NEEDS him like the Indians imo. We have a minor league second baseman playing outfield right now! Our hitting has gone to shite as well.
Ill take Beltran or Upton in a heartbeat!

If the Giants get him, they're going to win the National League again.
They might even without him.
