I would much rather have the prospcts that are closer to being ready than two more lottery tickets. This team is supposed to begin actually challanging for a playoff spot next year so trading for Bell and not signing him would be a step in the wrong direction, IMO. Unless somehow they are able to convince the Padres to take a collection of lesser prospects, but I do not believe Jed Hoyer is that dumb.

I see if different, if the Jays can obtain Heath Bell by moving mid tier prospect(s) that is a good move.....
Jays need to get as many picks as possible to obtain as many high end prospects as possible.
When they are ready to "challenge" they can use the prospects as assets......
I don't believe the Jays will trade any high end prospects for this type of player....
