southsider2k5 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 06:25 PM) So what if they trade Q for a package similar to the Sale package (maybe a couple more hitters since no one else has a Moncada) that has pitching as part of the value in the deal as well, then they draft well the next 2 years, then, just as this crop of players is coming up, they sign Harper and Machado? Still screwed? Just stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 06:25 PM) They aren't trading Bregman. Setting yourself up to be disappointed I was optimistic. I let everyone talk me into the rebuild. Now I fully expect to be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmmmbeeer Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 07:19 PM) Or else they really have doomed themselves to another decade of failure. Typically, half of a roster is pitchers....12-13 players. You can never have enough good pitching for depth both on the ML and ml rosters. You keep saying we're repeating what got us here but we have awful depth at pitching. I know you're a huge fan so I know you saw how bad our pen has been the last few seasons. I know you saw that we had to pick up two washed up vets last season to fill out the rotation. This team, outside of 3 guys (if you include Rodon), has not been a system stacked with high-floor/high-ceiling pitching prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGajewski18 Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 Jeff Passan @JeffPassan 38s38 seconds ago Sources: The Rockies remain in on Mark Trumbo, as @Ken_Rosenthal said. They'd like to get a front-of-rotation-type pitcher, too, thru trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Houston continues to look for a front-of-the-rotation type as well. Nothing new there. It's really the only thing Astros are missing now. https://twitter.com/JeffPassan/status/806656310456553472 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggins Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I love the Yankees prospects too, but Cashman is too smart to splurge this early. They will win 75-80 games next year but they'll be monsters again soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggins Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I understand being upset at the direction of the team. This is a big risk and the 2017 WS are going to be awful. TINSTAAPP as well.

Phil Rogers on MLBN said that the Sox and Astros are far along on a deal and it could come together quickly. They did talk about Sale so I'm sure the Sox are very familiar with their prospects i.e. Eaton Nats trade after talking Sale heavily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
