    No one is dealing a Jameson Taillon, or Noah Syndergaard-type for Carlos Gomez. Gold glove or not.

    Yonder Alonso's name seems to come up annually in this situation. Give it a couple weeks.

    Detroit has been very open to wanting to trade Porcello. Dealing Porcello would allow them to extend Scherzer and move Austin Jackson down in the order while not taking on another large contract.

    Oh man. Other sources seem to be picking this up. Ludicrous in my mind less we got Zack Wheeler in return. http://ftw.usatoday.com/2013/11/ryan-braun-milwaukee-brewers-mets-ike-davis-trade/

    Injured a lot? I know. But maybe there's a fit here with Brett Anderson. You'd think that the A's who aren't sure where their future lies would like a return on their investment in Anderson without the commitment financially. I'd be down to give Anderson a shot. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer/jon-heyman/24223903/brett-anderson-could-hit-trading-block-especially-if-as-keep-colon

    Not saying this author's writing is gospel, but here's some explanation on why GM's generally get away from intra-division trading: http://crashburnalley.com/2009/07/16/why-intra-division-trading-is-a-bad-idea/
  8. sheetskout
    I think people are getting away from reality here. It's fun to speculate, but an inter-division trade involving two young-stud players is more rare than a no-hitter. That's all this thread was, a hypothetical. I hope people aren't really suggesting there's a possibility for a Miller-Segura swap.
  9. sheetskout
    Two years ago I would have. But Davis is now hitting arbitration while he's regressing. This isn't a good mix. We can find other players who can contribute at 1B. At this point, I would rather have Juan Francisco man the position than Ike Davis (or Hunter Morris - he wouldn't have to do much to match Davis' current level)
  10. sheetskout
    Obviously this wouldn't happen, it's a hypothetical designed to point out what's really valuable among shortstops. I am in no way saying that this is a potential trade.

    I am not doing this to be the grammar police, but this one is too good to let go. Please stick a hyphen in there. Because that sentence means he'll stick around. I'm sooooo sick of Yuni. http://www.beedictionary.com/common-errors/resign_vs_re_sign

    Can anyone come up with a better deal than Aoki for Porcello? Porcello is arby-eligible and will receive somewhere around 7 million. It seems to me the Tigers could use the friendly contract and have the leadoff hitter they need who doesn't strikeout. They could move Jackson down in the order. I can't find a better fit for Aoki at this point. Ideas?
  13. sheetskout
    I would too. Simmons is a virtual automatic 3.8WAR based on his defense alone. Anything offensive he puts on top of that is icing. About the safest bet at SS you can find. I've also read some accounts that say he could be BETTER than Ozzie Smith as he has a stronger arm. Time will tell. I'd take that over a guy who's probably going to be moved to 2B and may lose a step or two; really knocking his value.
  14. sheetskout
    Yes. In a second. And it's not close for me. The likelihood that Segura sticks at SS is STILL very low for me. He'll play somewhere, but he's a well below average shortstop (even with the occasional flashy play). http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=ss&stats=fld&lg=nl&qual=y&type=1&season=2013&month=0&season1=2013&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&sort=23,d Another question: Would you trade Segura straight up for Andrelton Simmons?
  15. sheetskout
    A 2-million-dollar Aoki is desirable. A 7-million-dollar post-arby 2015 Aoki isn't nearly as attractive. Make the trade now please.
  16. sheetskout
    This is the issue with long-term mega-deals. They have to work out absolutely perfect to be viewed as a success. This was a major reason I wasn't on the sign-Prince-long-term bandwagon.
  17. sheetskout
    Javier Baez walks twice a month and strikes out well more than once a game. Javier Baez's "pure hit tool" was always in question. His raw power was not.
  18. sheetskout
    Chris Carpenter was 27 years old when he was released by the Blue Jays.
  19. sheetskout
    If Jacob Gatewood fell to #12 I would do cartwheels. This guy, to me, is this years Javier Baez. Should have the best bat-speed in the draft.
  20. sheetskout
    The bottom line is that no draft strategy is some sort of universal rule. There is no real criteria defining BPA; it's subjective. For what it's worth, BA released it's draft top-50 today and number 12 is Bradley Zimmer, OF, San Francisco "The rare college bat with projection as well as strong present tools; scouts are divided on his power potential."
  21. sheetskout
    Again no. You should never be making a pick based on need ever. I don't care where you are picking you never pick based on need you always take the best player available. If the BPA is a pitcher and you are stacked at pitching guess what you are taking the pitcher because they are the BPA. I completely disagree with this as well. There have been plenty of examples where teams have selected based on some other criteria besides BPA and have worked out well. Take the 2009 draft as an example as most of the first-round players selected have graduated or been phased out on their natural timelines. Both Mike Minor or Mike Leake were not the BPA's early in the draft, both have resulted in a ton of quality starts and have received playoff experience. Tyler Matzek, widely regarded as having better frontline stuff out of the draft hasn't pitched a major-league inning. Drew Storen, also in the same draft taken as a known-reliever has turned into a serviceable MLB pitcher while better athletes such as Jared Mitchell, Randal Grichuk, and Brett Jackson have struggled. While these examples don't define any universal rule with regard to draft strategy, I believe that's the point in itself. There doesn't seem to be any correlation with a BPA attitude working on as any overriding rule. (Matt Bush, Donovan Tate, Dustin Ackley, Kyle Skipworth, Justin Smoak, and on and on and on)
  22. sheetskout
    I "misspoke" as well but the overlying point still stands. Price's arbitration price would be a near-record as well. I forget who holds the record; Tim Lincecum I believe would have beaten the record had he not signed a deal. It'll be somewhere around 13-14 million I would think.
  23. sheetskout
    WITH Gomez, it would also take Segura. The demand on Price would be that great. I am all for dealing Gomez if the return is right, but I'm not dealing two young (controlled) players for a years rental of Price no matter how good he is. It's different when they are in double-A.
  24. sheetskout
    They aren't going to trade Price at a cost of potentially ending their recent regular-season success leading to playoff appearances. They'll need someone "impact" in return. I would think Segura would have to be involved at a minimum. Braun isn't a fit in that market.
  25. sheetskout
    I would be extremely happy with Cederoth at 12 at this point. I'm expecting him to bump towards the draft into the top ten with another college season. I just feel we have to go pitching here, unless an impact natural talent such as Alex Jackson falls to 12.
