That being said, we gave up our most reliable middle inning pitcher for Betemit, so we'd better get a reliable middle inning pitcher in return. How bout Marte? Otherwise, I say we keep him, let him get a few games in AAA then try to find him some ABs between benching Giambi and giving Jeter some time off.

Wow...if those corneal ulcers aren't the very least-worrisome type, Betemit may be in big trouble.
Were I a GM, I'd only trade a player with negative value for Betemit until we see if he can recover. This could literally be the end of Betemit's career if the ulcers don't heal properly.
