Bohm

The Phil's asked for Gilbert or Kirby for Bohm, which the M's declined. This pretty much causes me to give up hope that Williams will get this done. 

Both are starters with 2 years of control. So basically the price for Bohm is peralta. 

The Phillies are crazy with that ask IMO. I don't really get the fascination with Bohm. He is a below average defender at 3B, who had a two month hot streak at the beginning of last year and was not great the rest of the season. I wouldn't even trade one year of Devin for him.

pass the guy is overrated

Bohm isn't a world-beater, no. And he's certainly not worth a good starting pitcher. But he derives a lot of hitting value with a good batting average, and I'm a sucker for those types of hitters, especially when you need to drive in the guy standing on 2nd base. His defense improved last season, and he's got 2 years of team control, which is kind of the perfect amount of time before the organization will know if the kids are ready for the Show.

I guess one can call me "fascinated". I mean, the Brewers need to find SOMEBODY to play infield, right?

Isn't Bohm better than going with a AAAA platoon of Monasterio and Ollie Dunn?
