Any trade for Hicks (or any other C) should be from the MiLB guys (Ian Miller, Chuck Taylor, Blog Powell, Braden Bishop) NOT any of the Hanigameredia group or Motter. If Detroit still needs CF help, maybe they'd want Martin (getting his stroke in Tacoma?) or Dyson over Powell, but I probably would not give up O'Neill either.
For Hicks, I would think even with his high BABIP-driven hitting numbers that one of the CF PROSPECTS and an arm (Herb?) could get something moving, unless, of course, Detroit figures Hicks is too valuable for the moment as Miggy insurance.
Remember also that Hicks made his MLB debut at 3B - and he can still pick up an SB from time to time. Long-term, he's a perfect bench complement to Motter.
