I will say that I don't think it would end up being a huge upgrade offensively. I don't see Beltre repeating his year from last year. But even a minor upgrade offensively combined with a huge upgrade defensively would be a big deal.

And there's always the possibility that you could get another career year or two from Beltrea, and that would be unbelievable. He was one of the best players in baseball last year.

Edit to add:

Although, if Young does have to move to another position, then he really starts to become a liability offensively and creates flexibility problems with the lineup.

This would be a huge, huge move if it were to happen. I think it might put us out of the Lee sweepstakes and squarely targeted on Greinke though.
