If we were to move Wright and Dickey, what realistic packages would you drum up?

KC wouldn't accept that deal unless we throw in Mejia or Tapia/Fulmer, however that's not a bad team. Wheeler; Cingrani, and Harvey are all question marks, however if one of those guys pans out as a #3, than I'd take that. Obviously, you'd have to get some extra starters, if only one of those guys listed above pan out. I would love if we can keep Gee and move Dickey and Santana for Gentry and Holland, this way we'll have 3 proven pitchers(assuming Gee bounces back from the injury) who are young(2 of those being locked up in Niese and Holland) and we can give a couple of months to Mejia or Familia to try out them out as starters until Wheeler comes up in July.

Wright will be signed this off season.

This is a fun game. I'll go with my two original suggestions and then add a couple:

Dickey, Familia and Den Dekker to KC for Wil Myers and Jerrod Dyson
Wright to Cincy for Hamilton, Frazier and Cingrani
Gee to Toronto for Arencibia
Duda, Murphy and Tapia to Tampa for Hellickson

Lineup:
Dyson - CF
Tejada - SS (Hamilton takes over in 2014, moving Tejada to 2B - with Valdy?)
Valdespin - 2B
Myers - RF (too much pressure for a rookie?)
Davis - 1B
Frazier - 3B (or Lutz, with Flores in the wings)
Nieuwenhuis/Hairston - LF (Hairston must be re-signed)
Arencibia - C

Rotation:
Santana (Wheeler in July)
Niese
Hellickson
Harvey
Pelfrey (Cingrani ready for mid season or sooner)

Bull Pen:
Francisco, Parnell, Edgin, Mejia, Armando Rodriguez, Hefner/McHugh, Carson/Byrdak, one new FA reliever

Bench:
Hairston, Lutz/Satin, Turner, Baxter, Thole

We'd have a killer team in 2014, with a possible 5 ace rotation.

I like it except 2 things.

1) Being young is great, therefore there is no need to re-sign Hairston. He is the kind of signing you make when you need a bench bat, and you already have a team ready to win a title.

2) As much as I love the idea, I'm not going to go as far as saying "5 ace rotation". It would be good, but NO 5 ace. That's overrating times a trillion.

With Hairston, I was looking primarily for a RH outfielder that could platoon with Kirk, if necessary, or become a regular if Kirk faltered. Also for a RH power bat off the bench, and I don't really see any affordable FAs that fit that bill.

Maybe I over-reacted with 5 aces. But I see Wheeler, Harvey and Cingrani as potential aces, while Niese and Hellickson are solid #2/3's
