Get Dioner Navarro

As they trade away established players for prospects, the Bucs should focus on starting pitching and up-the-middle position players (including third basemen) since they can get corner outfielders, first basemen, and relief pitchers aplenty through free agency and/or the minors.

The Kris Benson to New York rumors are going again. Here's the guy to get from the Yankees in a deal for Benson. He's a catcher. You can't have too many catching prospects. I wouldn't take any shit from the Yankees, either, about this guy being untouchable. Prospects are prospects and even the best kind of prospects fail more often than we like to admit. The Yankees have the money to sign themselves some more top prospects from Latin America and South America - where they routinely outbid the Pirates - so I'd tell them Dioner Navarro or no deal. They'd have no business acting like the Bucs should settle for less. The guy is only 20 for crissakes. Here's a handy list (thank you Ted Nye) of other prospects to consider if we need to round out a deal that includes Benson and perhaps a second baseman.
