Lacking a Power Bat?

i think you should go along with the trade, but LEAVE OUT BELTRE. Hamilton is enough for both of them, but if the other dude does not like it, then put in beltre, only as a last resort. Your outfield would still be solid even though lacking hamilton's presence, but i reccomend you get a power-hitting OF like vladimir guerrero or maybe even manny ramirez, for like ibanez + kemp. Also, Jim Thome is slumping, but considering him a member of the 500 home run club, i think you should put a waiver claim on him, at least for the time being, and drop evan or james loney. As to your other question...when pedro comes back, you can't be certain that he can still pitch like the old times when he fanned 17 or something. however, drop jonathan broxton or mcgowan if you truly want him.
