Yes Jimenez is considered a possible .300/30 guy in the majors. He has some exit velocities that rival Stanton and Judge.

QUOTE (Enscheff @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 04:18 AM) As far as how readily folks seem to be to ship Albies off for Q, that is due mainly to prospect fatigue. Albies has been around for a while, and doesn't have much power. Chicks and casual fans dig the longball... Albies breaks his elbow to end last year, and comes back to a slow start this season as a 20 year old in AAA. Then the Braves acquire this shiny new toy in Demeritte. He hits a few HRs, and suddenly folks think he makes Albies expendable. Then the Braves promote a utility prospect named Camargo who proceeds to have a 100 good PAs fueled by an unsustainable BABIP, and now Albies is even more expendable. In 3 years, when Albies is Altuve with half the HR production, Braves fans will be glad they didn't trade their 4+ WAR guy at 2B in favor of keeping fringe prospects that profile as utility players. You aren't concerned about his ability to hit RHP?

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 04:13 AM) Is an Albies, Maitian, and a pitcher or Acuna, Matian, and a pitcher out of the question for Q? Yes, as someone said earlier, not sure if the Braves trade Acuna for Q straight up

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 04:07 AM) It's a shame the Brewers just drafted Hiura. He reminded me so much of Happ in college. Pretty sure the first BA mock draft had Sox taking Happ, and IIRC had Sox taking Judge and Trout also

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 05:04 AM) I'm not a Candelario fan either... at all. Said that months ago when I was gushing over Ian Happ before he got called up. Yep Happ is a stud. Shockingly great athlete.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 04:58 AM) Jimenez is legit. I'd be stoked to get him. Cease on the other hand is a question mark. Great stuff (throws 100+, great breaking ball, etc), but as fathom pointed out earlier, scouts have questioned if he's a starter long term. Plus, he's had TJS before. He's a good second piece, but risky. Cease should be 2-b as a prospect with a 2-a involved and I would be surprised if it's not Candelario (I'm not a fan)

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 04:52 AM) Over Albies or acuna, Tucker, Torres, Rodgers? Acuna 1, Eloy 2

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 04:45 AM) Sorry late to the party been working all day, so what did these tweet say. And the DanB guys Twitter says no pros are included so that means no Happ or Schwarber if he's legit. So probably Cease, Jimenez, Cadlareo, and who? And this is not a great package IMO Jimenez is definitely not the main piece I'd want out of those talked about. Just interested in hearing what led to this Cubs hype? As a main piece, Eloy is about as good as you could hope for

QUOTE (Username @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 03:24 AM) LOL you know we're desperate when a random reddit thread actually has me on edge. Some guy connected to the Red Sox leaked the Sale package exactly, about 5 hours before it happened. I couldn't believe my eyes. Ever since then I get roped in so easily. But that guy had also broke the Red Sox/Brewers trade the day before

He says they were all meeting with doctors tonight, but Eloy was actually on the bench for MB

So did the deleted tweet say anything about Q or was it just about an unexpected trade looming

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 02:16 AM) Agreed that both of them seems like too much for Gray. Verlander too (and I really hope Detroit doesn't end up with Eloy). Only one that really makes sense of the commonly rumored names is Archer, but it would make no sense for the Rays to sell him right now. But I also have a really hard time seeing the Cubs trading for Quintana. Who else is worth giving up Eloy and is on the market? Maybe it's a guy like DeGrom that comes out of nowhere. Both Eloy and Cease being out of tonight's game almost seems like too much of a coincidence. Stroman or M. Fulmer

Burger seems to get hbp a lot

Heck of a recovery for Hansen

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 12:14 AM) Quintana for Jimenez, Cease, & Babe Schwarber. Who says no? No way they give up Eloy and Schwarber

Jimenez, Candelario and Cease...let's do this

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 12:03 AM) WSD posted a video discussing Jimenez/Cease/Q but I can't tell if it's sarcastic Seemed legit

QUOTE (Username @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 12:08 AM) Wasn't the futures game on Monday lol? Sunday actually

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 11:56 PM) Cubs #1 prospect Eloy Jimenez also absent from the lineup today. No news on that one either. Hasn't returned from Futures Game yet

Really rough start for Hansen so far against an Eloy-less MB lineup

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 11:12 PM) Ah that makes alot more sense. Usually when I see "callup" then people mean to the show. Usually "promoted" is a better word. Cease has been a stud this year though. Great stuff but yet to see someone say he will stick as a starter

QUOTE (turnin' two @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 12:10 AM) 2 more: Stephen Strasburg Isn't Boras partial owner of the Nats?

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 12:09 AM) From low A?! That'd be pretty incredible (and very stupid). He means promotion to A+

QUOTE (turnin' two @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 12:02 AM) Bruce Levine is more likely to get a scoop, well, maybe not, throw enough crap against the wall... Mentioned Braves as interested in Q and then talked about Duffy and Kennedy being on Cubs radar

Still no word on Cease being scratched. Here's more from WSD https://mobile.twitter.com/barstoolWSD/stat...244517623922690
