When the dust settles...

After these two massive trades...Detroit has a lot of bats on the squad. I've got some different potential combinations for lineups, but some quality guys could be dealt:
Torii Hunter: ageless wonder. Good sim for the season (.287/.325/.427 14 HR VG arm in RF) and solid start in real life: .333/.355/.529 4 HR 20 RBI in 25 games
Stephen Piscotty: Top 3 Cardinals prospect and top 100 guy. RF with a VG arm in the sim and only 23. Has a usable offensive projection (.266/.318 10 HR 10 SB in 120 G)
Chris Carter: Mighty as an oak tree. Ex/Ex power. Had a nice little streak last week in real life, but slow April. Always a 30-40 HR potential guy. Ex stealing!
Pedro Alvarez: Kinda monitoring the situation with him. As I wrote up on my blog, he could make the leap this year. Ks are down, walks are up and he's got 8 HR. Things looking up.
Matt Davidson: 23-year-old 3B. Slow start in AAA, but another ok projection for such a young guy. Another top 100 bat. .236/.312/.410 21 HR 68 RBI. Av/ defense at 3B.
No real deal set in my mind, but I do have a lot of depth offensively and wouldn't mind looking at an offensive or pitching upgrade, if it's out there.
