And Albies is likely 3 years away at most. I think he'll finish next year in AA with an outside chance to come up at some point in 2017. He's not some kind of long-term project.

I go with Simmons and Peterson up the middle while waiting on Albies, and I'm ok with Maybin now and Mallex as the future in CF. Peraza could be the centerpiece of a pretty good deal.
how is an 18 year old in A ball not a long term project?? it'll be 2 years before he's in AA, book it.

it's not really a logjam since there's platoon options there and JP can play 3B. and especially with Maybin only signed thru next year.

yes, if Peraza can be a centerpiece in a deal, then sure. but i doubt it. he doesn't walk and doesn't hit for any power, and those guys are never centerpieces.
