Trade idea

It is my belief that what this team needs most of all is dominating middle inflielders. Guys that can hit and catch better than average. It occurs to me that the top defensive team in the NL is trying to trade its second baseman and Shortstop... the Pirates. Jack Wilson is the best defensive SS in the NL according to the new defensive metrics over at Fangraphs and an average hitter as well. Freddy Sanchez is a current all star for the pirates, a great hitter for a second basemen, and a plus defender. If we could get them for roughly Guzman, Andy Hands, money and a couple of minor leaguers, we would have them locked up all of next season. The rookie pitchers would be in 7th heaven because they would have potentially outstanding defenders at first, second, ss, and third. With Morgan in CF. Our current ERA would plummet with this trade. Next season we would have the best all round inflield in the NL and I think we would contend. Granted neither of these guys are youngsters at 31, but who cares we could contend next season (assuming our entire pitching rotation does not have a sophmore slump). Lastly, it's always good Karma to rip off the Pirates. Just a real crazy idea.
