I would absolutely do that deal now. Stanton is a proven stud who would add punch to this lineup and put people in the seats.
1. Gordon (LF)
2. Hosmer (1B)
3. Butler (DH)
4. Stanton (RF)
5. Perez (C)
6. Moose (3B)
7. Cain (CF)
8. Giavotella (2B)
9. Escobar (SS)

Exactly.
"Pitching prospects" are acquired to trade. Legit position prospects, such as Myers, well...one has to hope that those bear fruit. But, anyway.
We need to make a move for a player like Stanton. If that means our top 4-5 prospects. So what? "Mortgage the farm"? And? What has the farm meant thus far?
We're worried about a couple of "pitching prospects"? A 17-year-old? Please.
