I got 4 trade proposals for Mike Stanton, not sure if any are worth it but thought I would get others input.

First Mike Stanton 4 Dan Uggla and Tyler Chatwood

Second Mike Stanton and Brian Wilson 4 Lance Berkman, Matt Joyce, Ryan Raburn, Jaime Garcia, Casey Crosby, Greg Halman, and Ryan Strieby.

Third Stanton 4 Nelson Cruz and Sergio Romo

Fourth Stanton 4 Brandon Morrow, Jenrry Mejia, Nick Franklin, Cesar Puello.

Please let me know what you think.

I'd do the Morrow one if I were you.

Your pitching staff is kinda weak and lacking K’s big time. Morrow is sure to help you out there.

gotta keep Stanton

None of those offers comes close to having a return with as much upside as Stanton has. The Morrow one is interesting but I don’t think Morrow could have the same kind of impact Stanton can.

I could see doing the Cruz one if you could get another pitcher in return

deals 1-3 are lousy as they stand (not sure if you can negotiate up on them)…#4 made me do a double take, but it’s still a quantity (1 solid starter and 3 lottery tickets) for quality trade. I still think I’d stand pat

Stanton was just carted off the field in Jupiter. It’s supposed to be a strained hammy, but something to watch closely in case it’s more serious.

Yahoo added more- first story has been edited

“Stanton eventually rose to limp off the field, then rode a cart from the dugout to the clubhouse to ice the injury. Two hours later he emerged from the training room, spotted a food buffet and grabbed a plate, his appetite still healthy.

But he said the discomfort in his thigh was "pretty high." "
