But they didn't manufacture all that many. The won because of great starting pitching, which is what we really need to worry about. Especially in the playoffs where the 1-2-3 guys start most of the games.
As for the topic subject, I would only consider this trade if I were 100% sure that last year was a fluke year for Beltran. I just don't see how this trade makes sense when one considers Beltran's gigantic salary. With Manny, we know have one of the greatest hitters ever.
