November 8, 201411 yr QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Nov 8, 2014 -> 12:45 PM) Heyward has a lot more value than Evan Gattis. I can see that package including Micah, Hawkins, and possibly Danish or Montas. Too rich for my blood. Jason Heyward isn't making this team a championship contender. Yes but he'd be a biiiig piece of the pie. Gattis not so much.
November 8, 201411 yr Heyward for one year? Look what the royals had to pay for two years of Shields. Not that much. And a lot of Heywards value is defense-based.

November 10, 201411 yr Author "The Braves are pushing Evan Gattis hard in the early-goings at the GM Meetings" This is according to Joel Sherman http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/11/brav...van-gattis.html So he's definitely out there...just a matter of what it would cost to get him.
November 10, 201411 yr Gattis had a buldging disc in his back last year, thats just a bit concerning if I'm trading for him. I can go either way really, just depends what the Sox would have to give up.
November 10, 201411 yr Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal 1m1 minute ago Can confirm report by @JoelSherman1 that #Braves’ Gattis is being pushed aggressively.

I can go either way really, just depends what the Sox would have to give up. With that knowledge out there, he'd clearly have to pass an extensive set of physicals to be dealt. And you know if he's traded once and then rejected while going through this increasingly rigorous process (in light of the Brady Aiken fiasco), he's going to be stuck in Atlanta until he proves to be 100% healthy.
November 10, 201411 yr Brady Aiken? caulfield what are you talking about, that has to be one of the most unique physical situations that has ever happened, and Aiken wasn't even injured. Totally unrelated and I highly doubt that situation has any impact on physicals going forward.
November 10, 201411 yr Not thanks on Gattis. No position defensively and we already have our RH 1b/DH that is much better.
November 10, 201411 yr bad backs, bulging disk, no freaking way i would trade into that situation. didn't the sox have a pitcher who had a bad back / disk problem? Dustin Hermanson (sp). that kind of recurring problem can shorten a career quickly.

Well, let's just hope the White Sox are capable of doing more due diligence than the average message board poster. And a "bulging" or protruding disk is usually different than a herniated one, whereas one might respond to muscle and spinal treatment/strengthening/physical therapy and the other might require some type of fusion surgery like the Crede situation. Is it degenerative? Even in that latter scenario, it was reported numerous times that Paulie's physical problems would end his career in his late 20's/early 30's and that never transpired.

I wouldn't expect the sox to just give him a "turn your head and cough" physical. Everyone knows he has had back problems, I'm sure Herm and staff know what to look for. Plus, I'm pretty sure Konerkos issues were with a degenerative hip, not back. Given that Konerkos game isn't exactly based on speed, they were able to deal with whatever came their way.

November 11, 201411 yr Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN 3m3 minutes ago The Braves' asking prices for Gattis and other young players is said by rival officials to be extremely high.
