WestEddy Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 38 minutes ago, GreenSox said: Fine, but then we should have gotten 2 or 3 Vargas’ in that trade. Sure Marlins did well trading for 2 out-of-options guys. How about the Sox? Hahn brought us Madeiros and Cordell; and those secondary prospects in the Frazier/Robertson trade that did zilch? Low minors Rule 5 guys. Getz trading for the older prospects = Julks, Fletcher and DeLoach. I’d say the real bargain, is not the decliner, but the ascender who hasn’t hit the ranked prospect lists. That’s what the Padres and As got from Hahn. That’s PCA. That’s what the Dodgers got from the Cubs for Bush. Sure. I don't disagree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 3 hours ago, spiderman said: He's essentially a depth piece. Despite his success, I don' think teams would plan to use him in Game 1 or 2 of a series. Maybe Game 3 or 4 if he continues at this pace. Game 3 starters all the way through the playoffs including starts in the World Series would be a serious trade piece when series can go 7 games and he'd get 2 starts. That's not a depth piece. Depth piece is like given starts in the rotation but maybe you have a better option for the playoffs so you move him into the BP or leave him off the playoff roster.

He could be a #3 IF he continues to pitch at his current level. Pitchers get injured, teams will go with a hot hand, but I don't think any teams are acquiring him as a front-line starter. He's probably a depth piece, #4 type BUT one who has been getting results more towards the top of the rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any team wanting him has to believe he'll pitch to that upside or you look for a pitcher not pitching as well as Houser but with a better track record . That's what getting a rental to boost your chance at a Championship is all about. Anyone you pick up can be good or bad . You're likely giving up nearly the same prospect package for the track record guy pitching worse than u are for the hot pitcher without the track record .

Sure, but he's got a track record of not being this pitcher. A lot of teams need starting pitching. I don't even know that teams are worrying about whether he'd be part of a playoff rotation vs. getting there. He can help based on his performance this season and they wouldn't have to give up a ton given that he's not a high end starter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he impresses his receiving team in the next two months, maybe he makes a playoff roster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if you’re trading for him you’re not looking for him to be an ace. You probably plug him into the back half of the rotation and hope he keeps it up.
