[QUOTE="I Hate Lemonier, post: 1076326"] I tend to agree with you on Grichuk. I think he can play an above average Center Field and hit 20-25 Hr. I don't think it will happen but I would like to have him in AAA playing Center Field every day because I think his value is tied in deeply with his defense 1st and then his power. Ideally I would like to trade Jay or Bourjos to get Grichuk some more time in Center. Our minors are not totally devoid as you pointed out. Very few organizations have a 1-2 punch like Reyes and Kaminsky. There are some very intriguing position prospects in the very low minors in Sierra and Collymore but they are years away. Lackey is probably a more midseason move if we have somehow fallen out of the race. He has pitched very well in the postseason so a team would likely value that. Hopefully we don't have to worry about being sellers though. Cmart, Piscotty and Gonzalez are likely are top 3 trade chips at this point. I know some disagree but a team would have to blow me away to get Cmart. His kind of arsenal doesn't come around often. Unless the Front Office is absolutely convinced he can never be a starter then I wouldn't move him. I don't think the FO feels that way since the Braves prefered him over Shelby and the Cards wouldnt budge. [/QUOTE]
