I was looking to move Maitan only if I was receiving a piece I could hang my hat on, and CMart is that piece. He's just coming into his own, and even if he faded hard down the stretch in his first 200IP year, I feel like taking a shot that he'll continue to be a 3.5ERA, 200K guy starting next year. Vizcaino will hopefully remain as a closer, but who the heck knows what's happening in Atlanta these days besides ill-placed stadiums and under-the-table deals.
Maitan's obviously the whale here. Take a look at Jeter's and Chipper's numbers from rookie ball to see how insignificant they can be. Quinn, Schultz, and Voth should all be contributing in some way next year. I wouldn't be surprised if Contreras turns out better than all but Maitan.
It took us some time, but we got there, Cards. Good stuff.
