Lillian Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I don't understand all of the hype with Profar. What has he done, in either the Majors or Minors to merit the label "elite"? I don't see anything about his offensive game that is worthy of that assessment. Help me out here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Profar has a career OPS of .685 so far. Gordon Beckham is .679. I don't know if it is injury related or what, but so far Profar has fallen very short of the hype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I'm just not enthused with Texas top prospects we could get for Sale or Q. Boston or LA for me. Maybe Houston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, I think Profar, Gallo, and especially Mazara are pretty enticing. I am not sure why the hate on Profar, he struggled last season with injuries and now healthy as a 23 year-old is hitting .296/.349/.414 in the big leagues. Gallo's swing and miss is concerning, but he has Chris Davis type upside with unworldly raw power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazara/Profar/Gallo/Tate etc. does not excite me nearly as much as Moncada/Benintendi/Kopech etc. does.

I just don't see a match unless they throw in Mazara to headline. But as pure prospect package, Boston is at least enticing because they have two young studs in Moncada and Benintendi to headline it along with more depth with Devers and Kopech. I'm not a fan of Gallo for Sale or Quintana. Profar only has like 3 years of control due to his DL stints on the major league roster. Boston and LAs systems are the two I'd make deals with.

Panerista Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 10:26 AM) Profar has a career OPS of .685 so far. Gordon Beckham is .679. I don't know if it is injury related or what, but so far Profar has fallen very short of the hype. I believe he has struggled with a shoulder injury earlier in his career. I saw him at AAA Round Rock and he was easily the best player out there, but until this season he has definitely fallen short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have mixed feelings but I don't want them giving away Sale or Q. I think they can move Robertson for certain. Sure seems like it. I'm hoping they move Melky and Frazier although if they're both here I won't care. I just don't want to see our two stud SPs given away when they're in such demand and they won't.

daggins Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I think they'll stand pat. Hahn will talk about how the right deals weren't there, and Kenny will talk about how it pays to be aggressive, but you can't spend a dollar if you only have 50 cents, etc. Just prepping for the worst, guys! I tell you though, if they bring Robin back next year, i'm done with the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It better not be a salary dump. They should be able to get some good value from a contender for an established closer with a couple of years of control.
