re: Keeper question

I would keep Mauer simply because this is the last season he will have C/1B eligibility and also because he is almost a lock to hit .300 and hey who knows not having to catch games could potentially lead to some of his power coming back.

Cole is a great prospect with a high upside, but if this is strictly a one year contract I wouldn't keep him seeing as you already have Kershaw and Strasburg.

As for the trade, I would move Stanton. Stanton is a beast with ridiculous potential but Tulo is still the premier player even with injury concerns. Stanton is not going to have many RBI opportunities outside of his homeruns and in that lineup I would say his potential to score runs is also hampered. Really the only way I would keep Stanton is if there were a strong possibility that he would be traded in the immediate future .
