No prospects are guaranteed but this trade puts the team in a better position going forward. Remember how bleak 2002-2004 looked? Ship got turned around pretty quick with the right moves.

Posey:
14, then 7
Wieters:
12, then 1
d'Arnaud:
81, then 36
Which one is not like the others? You can project d'Arnaud wherever you want for this coming year, it's fairly baseless, but neither posey nor weiters started as low as d'Arnaud or finished as low as d'Arnaud is right now.
Fact is d'Arnaud will be a hell of a lot riskier than either of those guys and you want to give up a historic elite pitcher for him.
