I'm keeping Tulo and Heyward. Even with the injury risks (which are also present with Stanton) you will most likely get better overall production out of those two.
It's not as simple as Stanton for Tulo and Heyward. You'd have to drop one of your players if you take the latter and looking at your roster I'd say Kipnis is on the chopping block. So in reality it's:
Tulo and Heyward or Stanton and Kipnis.
I'd still take the Tulo and Heyward side. When it's all said and done, Heyward could be the prime prize in this trade.
Yeah, I'm regretting making this trade a little. I love having Stanton. I am a patient owner and have built this team from virtually nothing since 2007. I know that Stanton will be traded eventually, so his value will increase more than likely. Power is hard to come by and he is a legit source of it. However, I could have left Kipnis to the draft and may have gotten him back with the 2nd pick. However, I was hoping someone could argue the benefits of my side of the trade. Honestly, I didn't expect Heyward to finish so highly and with such optimism for the future.

Agreed. It cleared up a keeper spot but I think I would have preferred to keep Tulo and Heyward. It's not a bad trade though. Stanton and Kipnis still have growth and could end up being top 20 players at some point.

Like I said above. At this point you gave up the most but Stanton and Kipnis still have their prime years ahead of them and you could end up winning the trade. Tulo has been far from healthy and Heyward has had one out of three years where he has been hurt. So both of these guys have more risk than Stanton or Kipnis at this point.
Don't stress too much over it. You still have a good set of keepers.

Tulo hasn't averaged more than 112 games played over the past 5 seasons (avg of <70%). Throw out his injury-plagued 2012, and he's averaged 129 games per year (2008-11), with an average < 80% of possible games.
Yes, Tulo is elite when he's playing, but there's a TON of risk with him. I'd have traded him. Of course, Stanton comes with his own injury history. Hopefully, it's behind him...he's still very young.
