This would solve our Smoak can't hit LHP problem! For the past several years I have been pushing being patient with Smoak, because his LHB swing resembles Griffey so much, but his RHB skills or horrid. For the past several months I've been trying different lineup scenerios with Smoak only batting against RHPs. Signing Morales & trading for Butler would solve the Smoak debacle, and we can include Smoak in a trade package along with Franklin (and move Ackley back to 2B). Braun and Gallardo are available, Restructure Gutz contract & sign Ellsbury and we just solved our 2013 Defense issue we had, while improving offense (which our offense wasn't the biggest issue last year). We had 'some' strong offensive numbers like HRs, but our BA and hitting with RISP can improve. Adding Butler, Morales, Ellsbury and trading for Braun would solve those issues. Of course I want Stanton BADLY, and I truly feel we are the team that could actually land him with the prospects we have, BUT I don't think we have enough prospects to trade for Stanton AND Butler AND Price/Gallardo.
