Well, it looks like this trade that was shot down about two weeks ago, is now going to happen.

Ca$h has been trying to get Betemit for years (he offered Proctor for Betemit last year when Betemit was on the Braves), he loves his game. I like the guy too, but Betemit just isn’t going to play that much. Still, his versatility, youth and low salary are worth getting.

I like the player, Betemit, and I guess I like the trade. It is a proactive move; trading a 30-year old Proctor with 135 appearences and 156.2 IP the last two years and not much left in the tank for Betemit, who is only 25.  

Proctor can easily be replaced by Britton, Ramirez or Chamberlain. I would’ve rather traded Farns, but all dreams don’t come true.
