I have to believe that a package headed by Wheeler (or Syndergaard) and Flores, also containing Mejia or Familia, Montero or Tapia, and Den Dekker or Vaughn would at least get their attention. The question is, would you give up a group of prospects like that to get, arguably, the best offensive player in the NL today?Herb Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00167007160130775548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-63333378596275250492013-01-08T12:09:31.070-05:002013-01-08T12:09:31.070-05:00Agree...to a point.

No matter how he performs, Stanton is the greatest power hitter in the game and it'll take at least a top 15 MLB prospect plus Flores and then some. Flores isn't even in the top 100. We all like him because he's our best minor league bat, but that's all he is at this point. Two great months in Vegas doesn't propel him into the bottom 50 prospects.<br /><br />You'd need to add about 3 legit arms to make that work. <br /><br />Flores, Syndergaard, Fulmer, and Montero might work, but do you want to give up 3/5 of your future rotation? Not me...<br /><br />If they take any four of Flores, Tapia, Familia, Mejia, Gorski, Mazzoni, Aderine R, and Nimmo...I'd do it.Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03520446193510393380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-10280777362841620312013-01-08T10:29:24.880-05:002013-01-08T10:29:24.880-05:00David, this is why Flores needs to play on opening...David, this is why Flores needs to play on opening day in Las Vegas.
