There are a lot of question to where the A's stand at the deadline and if they sell, it doesn't appear they have many trading chips outside of Wuertz and Sheets. On ESPN Insider, Writer Christina Kahrl proposes 5 trades that should happen.

According to her, Beane should trade Michael Wuertz and Ben Sheets....

What do you guys think?

Trade #1 Scenario:  The Cincinnati Reds shore up their bullpen by  acquiring RHP Michael Wuertz from the Oakland Athletics in exchange for OF Chris Heisey and LHP Donnie Joseph

Here's writer Christina Kahrl's rationale: "The A's need an outfielder, and Heisey's a grinder whose value may never be higher after popping five homers during his 10 weeks on the Reds' bench."

Trade #2 Scenario: The St. Louis Cardinals acquire Ben Sheets and cash from the Athletics for 1B/OF Allen Craig and RHP P.J. Walters

Kahrl: "For the A's, it's a matter of adding depth, Walters would stock Triple-A Sacramento or the back of the major league rotation, and Craig would add to Oakland's woeful outfield mix."

Do you guys agree? Would Beane do this? What do you think of the players we would get in return? With the A's only 7 games back and playing hot recently, should the A's just hold onto Wuertz and Sheets?
