Beltran and Bonds, Unit who?

After a lot of fluff and false reports, it appears that Randy Johnson will be a D-Back for the rest of the season. Meanwhile, the best player on the block, (Randy Johnson included), is Astro's centerfielder Carlos Beltran. I've said on many occasions that Beltran is more valuable than Johnson because he is younger, but there is another condition. Beltran, who is a free agent come the end of the season, must be resigned to be more valuable than the Big Unit. The team that will be given the first chance to sign Beltran is still up in the air. With the deadline fast approaching, we could find out soon. The Miami Herald on Wednesday reported on a three way deal that would send Yorvit Torrealba to Florida for prospects who would be shipped off to Houston for Beltran. Imagine Bonds and Beltran batting 3-4 in the order. Bonds and his .365 average, 26 home runs, and .600 on-base percentage following Beltran with a .272 average, 25 home runs, and 76 RBI'S. Both would certainly become much more productive because Bonds would be less likely to draw walks, and Beltran would either see more pitches to hit in front of Bonds or get a ridiculous amount of RBI opportunities. Even if the Unit is perceived to be the biggest catch of the deadline, Beltran, who is already a good RBI man, could become so effective he could be among the top five in the league. With the two sluggers in the middle of the order, it would almost guarantee the Giants a playoff spot.
