In looking at baseballtradevalues.com, the top prospect a deal of Moreland to the Yankees might get you is maybe Albert Abreu, who Fangraphs has as their #13.
If that is the case, do you deal Moreland for Abreu?
I thik their valuation of Moreland might be rated low at $0.9mill surplus. He already has 1.1 fWAR this year. That's actually more than he was worth in the 4 previous full seasons, so it is clearly a career year for him. But if he projects as a even a 1+ fWAR player next year as well, then his surplus value should be closer to $5-6mill range. This would mean a fair trade would be something like Miguel Andujar (if the Sox wanted him), or one of their better pitching prospects like Miguel Yajure, Alexander Vizcaino, or maybe Luiis Gil. (Again, using baseballtradevalues.com valuations.)
So would you deal Moreland for any of them?
Acquiring Andujar would make either JD expendable, or make Chavis and/or Dalbec expendable...
