Think like a baseball team... you need a third baseman. You could either
a) sign a journeyman, whos been through stretches with 9 or ten ball clubs, possibly in both leagues, and is looking for a last shot at the real deal..

a hot young prospect from the minors. been with the organization from the start, two years. not a lot of bad experience in the pros to shake his confidence. tremendous upside potential, could be a hit in the majors, or fill in a nice position spot for an injured star. either way you got him for 3 years on a minor legue contract, so even if you have to cut bait, you arent that hurt.
