I *REALLY REALLY* hope Sabean doesn't succumb to trading a top-tier prospect (Bumgarner, Villalona, Alderson, or anyone else) for a decent-ish bat ala Jermaine Dye or Mark Teahen.
This team AS IS is pretty good, and only getting better with Scherholtz/Ishikawa hitting their grooves and a plethora of young guns in the minors.
Not to mention the PHENOMINAL pitching staff!
I really hope Sabes doesn't muck it up by giving away the future.
This team should be AWESOME in a few years, no need to muck up for a quick rush to the playoffs.
Especially as this team is showing playoff potential without the worthless old-guy pieces.
I would not touch Bumgarner, Villalona and Buster but I think that Alderson can be tradeable.
If we keep Cain and Tim (I hope so) and add Bumgarner next season, we do not need Alderson that much. May be we can get a good OF or IF prospect for him. Do I want to keep Alderson? Yes, I do ... but may be a good young bat is a better choice for us.
