My question is should I wait until the trade deadline and trade for prospects or have his replacement (guy below) take his spot. I have also thought about signing him and putting Howell at 2nd and Fegan at SS. Your thoughts please. I could use the help.

I think you should lock him down for 4.7Mil. He is tried and tested and will produce. Your prospect will still take 1 more year in AAA before he will be ready. If you play him now, he wont reach his potential.
By the time the 4.7mil contract expires, your prospect will be ready to replace him.
