What if Erasmo and Maurer take plateau leaps, Paxton continues to do want he's done in the majors to date, suppose Ackley reverts to rookie form (as he did in the second half of 2013), and suppose a combination made up of of Zunino, Miller, Franklin. Smoak, Almonte, Saunders, improve their offensive games, and the Mariners sign some splashy free agants.
I remain in the "don't trade anybody" mode. With a team in this kind of flux (See Hultzen), you cannot move young pieces for the next Eric Bedard. We don't know who will emerge next season. Crazy, I know. We should know at this point. BUT...dang these pieces we have are good, they are a year older, and there is a lot of them. ADD. Do not subtract - yet. Wait until the surplus is truly evident. Then we'll make some killer trades for Price, or whoever we want.
