beck72 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 If this one "deal" is any indication, teams that are "buyers" will be forking over some good talent for upgrades. Even if it's for a bullpen guy, the Sox should expect to give up some decent talent--ie, top 10 prospects. I know josh Wilson is a good young player, not sure about the young pitcher. But Mota as well?! The Rockies must be crazy. From today's Miami Herald: "The Marlins continue to focus their attention on upgrading their bullpen, but they're meeting with stiff resistance when bargaining because of a scarcity of quality relievers who are available. A National League source confirmed that the Marlins offered minor-league pitcher Yorman Bazardo and shortstop Josh Wilson for Rockies' Brian Fuentes but that the Marlins balked when Colorado demanded that reliever Guillermo Mota be included in the deal."

beck72 Posted June 24, 2005 Author Share Posted June 24, 2005 Update: Bazardo is the Marlins #3 prospect from BA, a 20 yr old AA SP with Sean Tracey like numbers. Wilson is a lesser prospect, a AAA SS hitting .250 but probably in the top 25. Add all that and a solid major league player, and that looks like an expensive price to pay for a decent 29 yr old, lefty set up man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
