i'd guess heyward, but it depends on your market. you don't need a huge market to support a 200m payroll in 'good' times. you can work around a 30m contract when you have a mostly younger team. however, if you have a currently expensive payroll, i'd avoid stanton without a doubt. (assuming you are not the yankees or dodgers or something - then spend like a drunken sailor!).
be willing to miss out on a couple of stanton's good years, so that you don't get stuck holding the bill for an aged, overpaid player and so that you get at least something worthwhile in return.
i'm not familiar with the real player ratings anymore. if betts is a high obp guy, i'd say you want the power over another similar player like pizzano.
