St. Louis postnet.com | Sports | Cards try to make a trade with ExposHermansen and Steve Kline for Fernando Tatis and Britt Reames. My first inclination is to bop Jim Beattie about the head for not doing this deal yesterday, but Reames is already 27 much older than I had thought. Still Tatis is a clearly a potential stud and the Expos desperately need a good third baseman.
Still with the relievers you take it as a wash and then look at Hermansen vs. Tatis. I take Tatis just because I like the consistency of offensive players, but you could make a case for the pitcher as well. I'd do the deal if I owned the Expos.
