Love the idea of trading some of the higher rated prospects for proven above average hitters with lots of control. Yelich was a prime example of this.

Sure, we should explore options like this once enough of the core is in place.  But now is definitely not the time IMO and we shouldn’t be using the first big wave of prospects (Jimenez, Kopech) under any circumstance.  The starting pitchers at AA & the positional guys at High A (plus Basabe) should probably be the trade chips when the time comes.

Yeah I didn't mean the marquee guys, but more the likes of Hansen/Dunning/Collins/Rutherford 

Salazar is out for the rest of the year. Let's see if they have the bullets for one of these 2.
