I've been going back and forth on this whole situation daily. There are decisions to be made at all 4 spots imo. I like Prince; I think he's a very good hitter having a down year, but his body shape and defense are scaring me. Good defense is very underrated at 1B, especially when it comes to diggs. I've come to the conclusion he'll never become even below average at it. If I could get a package of James Loney and Broxton for him, I'd pull the trigger. Hardy has probably been our best overall player this year, which is pretty crazy if you ask me. If he doesn't want to move, he's expendable. Everyone says Escobar's defense is too good to pass up at SS. JJ would bring back a nice player. Weeks and Hall have been huge liabilities. Rickie is clearly a better hitter than Hall, and makes quite a bit less than Bill. Very few want to believe it, but he's been pretty solid for a nice size stretch now, and has gernerally had no luck whatsoever with hits falling in. So I think he's traded to help clear up the jam, and a vet is signed and used as a stopgap.
