Also I see we are talking about the 2014 Draft-If we get a Top 5 pick don't be surprised to see us take Rodon,Beede or Nola and fast track them thru the minors like Heaney.
We are gonna have a massive draft pool in 2014 and if we play the cards right we should have no issues taking any of them money wise

Knowing our guys we would try to get even more for Stanton but if u look at the Pittsburgh system-its not bad at all. Taillon,Henson,Polanco,Bell,Glasnow,Herrera are all very nice prospects

Who knows maybe if we wait long enough some team will trade us all their Top 10 Prospects just for Stanton

Considering they have McCutchen and Marte, I think you have to get Polanco in that deal since the Pirates won't need an outfielder for a long long time. Yea I know the Marlins have three young outfielders too, but whatever. Chances are one fails so hedge your bets and go upside.
Taillon, Polanco, Hanson/Bell, Tony Sanchez, and the proverbial A-Ball flamethrower with no control, is the 5some I would want. They can have Webb in the deal too.

I don't really understand the direction of the franchise.
It's been mentioned that Loria wants to win again as soon as possible. Considering what's happened over the last 1/3 of the season, I would think he would stick with that mindset if the winning continues for the rest of the year.
If you think you can win as soon as next year, wouldn't the solution be to keep Stanton and build around him by spending some money on free agent bats that you desperately need? The young hitters on the team that have come up this year do not look like they'll become solid hitters any time soon with the exception of Yelich maybe. I don't understand why they'd just trust all the young position players considering the pitching staff they have and the RF'er they can easily build their lineup around. The team could be competitive next year if they make an effort.
Furthermore, if you don't believe you'll be winning next year, I don't know why you'd sell nothing (like the many good relievers in the organization) at the trade deadline. I'm assuming they kept this team because they like the core and want to improve the rest of the team in the offseason.
They certainly have the money to spend..............right?
