I'm a big proponent of Aaron Hicks simply because he gives you a super prospect that you can deal at any time for an established ML star.  We can argue whether or not he's going to help the M's in 3-4 years, but the bottomline is that right now scouts absolutely adore this kid. Keith Law has him ranked #9. I saw another minor league service recently put him in their Top 15-20.
Even if you don't love him and are not sure whether he pans out, he is a bigtime trade chip to have in your organization.  When one of those small market teams put one of their young stars on the market because they have two yrs left on a deal and don't want to sign an affordable extension with the home team, Aaron Hicks is the type of prospect that gets your foot in the door.
