The Tigers traded for cabrera with 2 really really projectable guys who had done nothing in the minors to that point and thus offered a really low risk to them. I wouldn't want to trade any of our big 3 hitters because 2 of them could be starting by the end of next year and you don't trade away a potential Buster Posey for a right fielder. Then all you are left with is pitching prospects which we desperately need. I wouldn't do it if I was DM.

Not all of our pitching prospects are going to pan out, so I would be fine with trading a couple of those pieces. Position players...that's a little tougher. I wouldn't be completely against moving Moosetacos, though. I don't think he projects nearly as well as Hosmer or Myers.
