Definitely.
Rocco is the man! That is if he can stay healty!
Rocco gives you average, hr's, rbi, sb's, runs and triples.
If healthy he's a top 15 outfielder in my opinion. (Think Grady Sizemore)
Kearns is hit's for low average and plays in the cavernous RFK stadium. He has little or no protection in the lineup.
Baldelli is surrounded by solid young talent and is a potential superstar. The only risk he's a little injury prone, but in this case he's worth it.
There are at least 10 more Austin Kearns type players out there.

I don't think as highly as others regarding Baldelli, he has horrible plate discipline and couldn't take a walk to save his life. In 2006, he walked a total of 14 times in 364 AB's to go along with 70 k's. Not a good indicator of future success.
That being said, he's a likely 25/20 candidate, while Austin Kearns is a 20-25 home run guy that will hit for a lower average and only steal 10 bases at most.
Take the deal but I don't think it's overly lopsided.

no way kearns gets more home runs and more rbis and i think hell get more hits this year becuase washington has a better team. baldelli will only have like 15 home runs and his average wont be that good because his team sucks!!!!

Im amazed someone accepted/offered this trade to you.
TAKE IT! Baldelli should bat .290, with around 100 R's, 25 HR's, 85 RBI's, and get you 25 SB's. He is on of the best all-around 2nd tier players in fantasy.
Kearns is allright, but playing in RFK klls his HR's.
