Had an interesting discussion with some bullish Marlin fans. Seems they believe that Stanton is untouchable, but that Yelich could be had. They proposed a trade of Middlebrooks + (and they were all over the place with what else) for Yelich. Very interesting, Seems they have nothing at 3B (Placido Polonco) and want to upgrade with youth and power. Would you favor a deal of, say Middlebrooks and Bryan Villareal for Christian Yelich?

Yes it won't happen.

Your Marlins friends don't know what they're talking about. Even if they were going to trade Yelich, it'd take way more than that. He's a top 15-ish type prospect (who won't be ranked b/c he graduated).

He's a top 15-ish type prospect (who won't be ranked b/c he graduated). I don't know the Marlins fans other than a blog on the internet. Two asked me about a Yelich for Middlebrooks trade. One suggested Middlebrooks and Bradley, the other Middlebrooks an De La Rosa, I am a HUGE advocate for obtaining Yelich IF Ellsbury is not resigned, If Yelich was made available even if Cherrington signs Ellsbury i'd be all in to trade for him. Let me rephrase the deal from the Marlins perspective. Would you trade Middlebrooks and JBJ for Yelich?

But that'd be a Yelich for JBJ trade, with Middlebrooks the second guy. That's why I was confused. When you say "Middlebrooks +" I'm assuming the deal is centered around Middlebrooks.

Id love to get my hands on Yelich. But doubtful we would get him because I dont see the Marlins giving him away. WMB, De La Rosa and Betts/Cecchini would be the minimum it would take to land him. Id do it personally. I no the Marlins love De La Rosa and Webster especially from talks the Marlins and Dodgers had about Hanly an they wanted Webster bad.
Id personally give them WMB, Ranuado, Betts/Cecchini for Yelich and Ryan Webb. Might have to add something else of lesser value to get Webb but you get were im going.
Yelich is a potentiel 300 plus hitter with great obp and 25-30 HR potentiel who can play LF or 1B.

Yellich isn't going anywhere for the next few years. You want a young OF like that I'd check on the Rockies David Dahl. He's further away but I think he will make a huge jump next year. Maybe a conversation starts with Doubront?
