[QUOTE="CardsIllinifan8, post: 1076321"] Our farm system is depleted of high potential bats, not arms though. The high potential arms are a few years away. We have two potential front of the rotation starters in high-A, maybe AA this year in Reyes and Kaminsky. I am higher on Grichuk than I am on Piscotty. I think Piscotty is too limited - not much power, and still learning the OF. Grichuk has the speed and power where he make a legit difference. Funny thing is, MLB Network ranks Piscotty as the number 1 prospect and Grichuk the 6 prospect. I would try to hold onto Grichuk and pray he can become a .260-.270 hitter, .330 OBP, .500+ SLG, and 20-25 homers per year. If he can do that, especially at CF, he is more valuable to us than any other team. Lackey could be a valuable trade piece for either Hamels or Price. He is cheap, you know what you are getting from him, and he is a good postseason pitcher. If the Tigers or Phils want someone to seal the deal, he could be the guy. Phils it might not work because they aren't close to winning, but he could mentor the young guns and mentality to pitching. His competitiveness would rub off on them too. [/QUOTE]
