No, you do not trade your ace for a catcher. I have no problem dealing Murphy and giving Flores a shot at 2B, but NOT for a relief pitcher. I would be willing to trade Duda's power hitting potential for better contact hitting, better defense, more speed. I am not familiar with Shin Soo Choo, but this seems doable to me. Francouer would be a nice addition in RF or off the bench.

"-Franceour: Fourth outfielder - "

a 4th OF needs to be able to play at least 2 OF positions, and all 3 to be a good one.

Franceour can play RF/LF. Choo can play all 3 positions and Valdespin can play all 3 positions

"Valdespin can play all 3 positions"

Haha, Valdepsin is the most inexperienced OF ever.

And Choo playing CF???

Francour stinks

Valdespin is awful and has no trade value.
