Frederickson and Dykstra are waving hello... If proven prospects are an unknown commodity then what are draft picks? You can't even adequately define their value... what if we end up with a team's second round pick again like the Sabathia deal? If I have a choice between top prospects and draft picks, the choice is prospects every single time. If the pitching doesn't improve, Prince's 5 wins don't mean anything, especially in a walk year. Proven prospects? Like who? One, I don't think there is such a thing as a "proven" prospect especially pitchers. Two, I have 0 confidence we'd get a get a "stud" pitcher for Prince. Teams generally don't want to give those up especially when they won't be able to sign the guy they're trading for or they could just wait a year and sign in free agency. I'd stretch this out with Prince and do everything possible to resign him. I don't see the prospects we'd get for Prince much better than the draft picks.
