Thats just the thing though. You need to make a decision on Saunders ASAP IMO.
Its very unlikely Saunders actually raises his trade value as a rookie at the MLB level next year. More than likely hes going to struggle in the intial transition like 90% of all prospects. If you're sold on Ackley and like Langerhans' short term value, then Saunders in serious danger of getting Balentiened. Wlad himself had good trade value a couple years ago. You let Saunders struggle at the big league level and lose his starting job in the second year to Ackely and suddenly he has little to no trade value.
Why not just cash Saunders in this offseason for a prospect similar value at a different position or a young MLB piece that fits?
