A) No, my argument is not that you should never trade two prospects for a bat...my argument is that you should never ttrade two prospects (at least one of whom carries potential to be useful at the big league level) from an already thin farm system at the high levels...for an aging, injury prone rent-a-bat WHEN YOU AREN'T CONTENDING...you shouldn't trade for a guy who is unlikely to be a part of your next pennant winner if you have to give up someone who still might be.  That's my argument.
B) If you want to consider my comment here "rude and obnoxious" simply because I am raising a parallel from jemanji's past where he totally and spectacularly whiffed on a post-trade analysis...a parallel that I believe fits the current situation...and asking him why he thinks this will work any better long term...that's you're prerogative.  I have deep respect for Doc's baseball intelligence and insight 99% of the time...but he does have some error patterns that I think need to be called attention to and this is one of them.
