I agree, and what you're saying is the same thing Ant has been asserting - but there appear to be redundancies in CF and C.
In one or two years, Rasmus and JP will be in their prime yet still need to make room for (maybe) superior players in TdA and Gose.
Optimal asset management says move one of the two before they limit each other's value. If the deal otherwise makes sense, of course.
And adding veteran starting pitching seems SO attractive right now. The high-ceiling prospects are still years away (and I don't want to move a guy like Syndergaard) and the injury-replacements look ugly.
Bumping Happ to a Villenouva role would make me feel a lot better raising expectations for the season. Last year the Jays were over ten deep into their starting rotation - who would we project to be 6/7/8/9/10 this year?
McGowan, Cecil, Jenkins...?
