What would it take for us to land Martin Prado?
One last move this off-season to bolster our bench and provide a little pop. What would it take to get Prado from the Braves? They need a veteran SS for this year. Izzy fits that bill and he's pretty much excess for us w/ our youth coming up. It's said that the Braves GM wants a LF w/ some thump in his bat... How about Vernon Wells, and we'd eat $11M per year? Plus we could get a mid level prospect in return. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2011/12/braves-rumors.html 1. Trade Izturis and Wells for Prado and mid level prospect. 1. Bourjos CF - OF 2. Kendrick 2nd - OF, 1st 3. Hunter RF - OF 4. Pujols 1st - DH, 3rd 5. Morales DH - 1st 6. Trumbo 3rd - 1st, LF, RF, and DH 7. Iannetta C 8. Aybar SS 9. Trout LF Bench 1: Conger C - 1st Bench 2: Abreu OF Bench 3: Callaspo 3rd - 2nd Bench 4: Prado 3rd - 2nd, LF, RF Bench 5: Segura SS - 2nd SP1: Weaver SP2: Haren SP3: Wilson SP4: Santana SP5: Williams BP1: Hawkins BP2: Takahashi BP3: Cassevah BP4: Thompson or Kohn Set-up: Downs Closer: Walden Dealing Wells allows us to bring Torii back on a 2yr deal to finish his career. If he just loses it this year, go after Ethier or hell maybe even Ichiro next off-season. I think the Braves may take Wells knowing they're only paying $10M per year for the next three years.
