He'd be great if you can rake everywhere else. Listening to the MLB network, some Sox fan suggested Q for Castro. I thought "who is this dingbat?". And then both Bowden and Stern said it would be a bad deal for the Cubs. Many, everyone drinks Theo-aid. Q for Castro is a bad deal for the scrubs?? I think Bowden and Stern are being overpaid for what they do. Edited November 13, 2015 by Saufley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Gonna leave this here: I appreciate all the PMs. My info has dried up because of personal issues between me and my source. Obviously if we could hash it out I would love the pipeline again but right now it's not gonna happen. As much as I'd love to continue the exchange we've had over PMs the last few years I simply have nothing right now. Sorry to all the folks I haven't gotten back to.

And that's exactly what the idea that 1 or 2 big FAs or trades will improve this team 10-15 games is. I'm trying to figure out how the Reds, loaded with heroes, suck so badly. Anyway, if you want to sign one of your hero outfielders, find away to move Dunn out, Melky can DH, and shift Eaton to LF and put Trayce in CF. That way we'd have a hero + excellent OF defense.

They have to have the best farm in baseball after all those deals the past year. Just the Braves being the Braves really. Out of their top 10, 8 are pitchers. I think the Braves did rather well in the trade. Not that the Angels did bad, they have great defenders in CF and now SS so if they can get Giavotella to improve at 2B its going to difficult for batters to get hits up the middle with that defense.

What? Just because we're going through trade options doesn't mean we think we'll go on to win a title. We're supposedly more active in trade talks than free agency so we're just throwing options out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminor3rd Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) I would've given up a similar package for Simmons. Montas + Danish + Sanchez + some rando. Guess we'd have to beat it a little -- maybe EJ + Montas + Sanchez + rando or something, but I wish we did it.

I think including Tim Anderson in the deal would make sense, since Andrelton would be taking his spot. Would Anderson and Montas for Simmons have worked? Or is that an overpay?

No, this is your strawman every time anything is discussed about a player with name value. Then you talk about trading eaton and starting Thompson and Saladino like that's gonna win a World Series.

Would Anderson and Montas for Simmons have worked? Or is that an overpay? No. Hart is targeting high upside, impact starting pitching. Some think that Newcomb is a reliever but others (Hart included) think that he's a TOR #1 LH starter. We don't have a guy like that to trade unless we deal Rodon. The pitching in that organization is nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no clue why they would get rid of him as he is a 2-4 win SS with 5 years left on a very team friendly contract. Seems like the Braves are going for a full on rebuild.

YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Jurickson Profar is a guy that I would absolutely love on the Sox. He's still extremely young, cheap, and talented. Injuries are the only thing that have slowed him down. I wonder if Montas could get him in a 1-for-1 deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he was around 26, but he's been a top prospect since he was 18, so it makes sense. I don't think Montas is enough for him, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's okay, we would then have either a trade chip or a 2B prospect that could actually hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniels still regards him as a top prospect which is a hard sell considering he hasn't played a real game in 2 years. His shoulder sounds like it could be a major issue right now as he isn't even fielding in the AFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
