What about keeping Vazquez?  His peripherals look great.  I know he has a tendency to underperform those, but he’s having a Santana-like season thus far in Atlanta.  Would we not expect him to perform similarly next year?

I wouldn’t keep Vazquez. I also wouldn’t consider trading for an elite closer to keep either. The vast majority of players kept will be bats, which means that there will be plenty of top tier closers and tier 1b or 2a starters to be had in the first two to three rounds of next year’s draft. You’re already keeping Santana, two out of your first five picks being starters is going to set you up to be chasing offensive production all year.

I’d lean toward keeping Howard, Rollins, Santana, and Cruz. Then, I’d try different packages of Dunn, Roberts, and Reynolds and see if I could land a true stud.

If you’re resigned to throwing the towel, why not try trading for Reyes, Beltran, Kinsler, or Berkman. Maybe you could split up Cruz, Dunn, Reynolds, and Roberts into two packages and get two of those injured surefire keepers. A team contending might love to get high level production for a guy who is clogging up their DL and not even contributing right now.

Not sure if anyone is checking up on this, but I recently pulled off a steal of a trade—Juan Rivera (going) for B.J. Upton (coming).  Assuming Upton is a surefire keeper for next season, do I keep Howard, Rollins, and Santana in addition to him, or should I not go with both Rollins’ and Upton’s inherent risk and take a more consistent bat (Dunn) instead?
