Love the idea of Capps-as-starter. The whole Brandon Morrow situation really ought to highlight just how badly the inflexibility of this organization can get in the way of success. The front office should be entirely focused on deploying resources in the most productive manner possible, rather than trying to clean house in some strange corporate 'nesting' maneuver.
Having all of these highly-touted prospects provides an opportunity to convert them into some valuable, high-end certainty. Alex Gordon would be a good target, but he's not a blockbuster by any stretch of the imagination. An abundance of talent at a handful of positions is only a good thing if their overall value is distributed in such a way as to plug holes across the board. Obviously, one way to accomplish this is via trade.
There has never been a better time to pull off a major blockbuster trade involving some of the M's young pitching to acquire a long-term offensive solution. WIth the depth and quality of the system at this time, I would say that to fail in executing a trade for a big bat this offseason is nothing but harmful to the short- and long-term prospects of the organization. They need to convert a handful of these 50% dice rolls into a 100% monster this offseason.
Giancarlo (Mike) Stanton, anyone?
