Thursday at 08:14 PM1 day You are Chris Getz. The phone rings and the Yankees are on the phone. Brian Cashman laments his SS and 3b situations. He is excited about Colson playing half his games in Yankee stadium with its short right field porch for a pull power hitter who could play third or short. He asks "what would it take?" You say what?I am not advocating doing this but I wanted to crowd source what we/our board would consider fair value. They also need bullpen help/depth. Add Hicks to free up payroll? I really would like y'all to put some thought into this not crazy Judge type answers. I really think Colson improving is one of the biggest needs going forward but again is your answer just plain "no" or would something make sense?

Yesterday at 02:39 PM1 day Volpe/Lombard seem to have it covered...Too many other high K propensity youngsters like Jones and Dominguez.
Yesterday at 03:22 PM1 day I think it is too early to give up on Colson, but even if it isn’t, I don’t like many of the Yankees prospects. It would be a crapshoot on multiple recent college arms.
22 hours ago22 hr Not in favor of trading Colson. Handing a potential LH power bat to the Yankees I'd need a lot back. I mean enough to make Cashman turn it down outright . Plus you really can't trade him yet until we give Cholowsky and Carlson more time in the minors. Also again re: LH power we have no idea if we are going to keep Mune . Then your 2 biggest LH power bats are gone if Mune leaves too. They may have to resign him by the TDL because if they don't and he walks they get nothing. They cannot get nothing. And we have no idea when the season will start so a slow start will really hurt Mune's value. They already traded Jacob Gonzales and Boston Smith both whom bat LH. They can't keep depleting our LH power bats unless you get some back plus good defense at SS is at a premium too.A big reason this team got so much better in 2 years was because of the growth of the youth, power and specifically the LH power. Getting rid of it all is not the way to go.We may hate the K's and the low batting average but HR's and good defense overcomes a lot of it. If he just made better swing decisions and took more walks he could be a monster. Colson is one of the few who has the potential for 5+ WAR .With the lockout looming and new ownership on the horizon we cannot treat this year just like any other year. The last 2 years its been easy to predict improvement if you believed in the rising youth and in the potential of Murakami despite the perceived lack of pitching. The Sox already have a good offense. Don't rob Peter to pay Paul. If you want pitching sign it and trade pitching for it.Sign all the free agent pitchers you want but there's zero reason to keep depleting the team of high upside youth & LH power.
20 hours ago20 hr if you really want help - avoid hypothetical trades. It's a symptom of being a fan of a cheapass habitual losing organization. we have the typical kneejerk premise of every guy coming out of the minors is a finished product. we have CMDR - ColsonMontgomeryDerangementSyndrome.I don't have faith in Getz after the trade deadline to trust him dealing with veterans. I do think he's much better right now at dealing with what they have. There's veteran GMs always willing to take advantage of his lack of experience.

19 hours ago19 hr 9 of the Yankees top 10 prospects are pitchers which is interesting. There could be a fit on paper. Then again, I feel like Yankees prospects are always overrated. Maybe Carlos LaGrange?
13 hours ago13 hr Sox will never get anywhere if they give up on guys like Colson at this point. He can defend and he can hit homers. If he improves contact, he's elite. As is, he was 2.8 fWAR. Yea it may be fluffed a bit. It's still pretty good, despite a big flaw.A lot; probably the Yankees don't have what we need or won't trade it. Lombard won't cut it.

4 hours ago4 hr You don’t trade Colson for pitching prospects. Like what are we even talking about here. If you move him right now, it’s for a major league SP.

I’m sick of it. It’s going to be a long fucking winter if/when this lockout starts, all we have is what ifs and rumors and threads just like this that are absolutely harmless and mean nothing to the actual process. If you don’t like the thread, don’t participate.

Truly feels like I'm reading a great screenplay. Second, I'd demand one of their best starting pitchers. Next year is ALCS or bust. We ain't in a rebuild. Will Warren or Ryan Weathers.
