    I've been told that process is considered "fun".
  2. 82brewcrew82
    Well, he's not entirely wrong. The argument is really about whether the team is ready to start using assets to acquire more proven assets. I highly doubt twi7 would have any problem with this if he were more confident in the rest of the existing roster. Not trying to speak for twi7, just an assumption I had made.

    You would be OK with Brinson + Burnes? Wow, that's crazy to me. I think the deal is going to be Harrison, Burnes and a rookie-level kid like Lemons. No inside info, just a gut feeling. That would be a steal.

    You would be OK with Brinson + Burnes? Wow, that's crazy to me. Why so? Brinson is going and of Woodruff/Burns/Ortiz, Burns is the guy I let go of and I'm not sure it's difficult.
  5. 82brewcrew82
    I agree that you look at these guys in tiers. One of Woodruff/Burns/Ortiz is acceptable. One of Hiura/Brinson is acceptable (not sure why Harrison would be in that group though). Positional strength gets taken into account also so if Hiura is involved, Diaz is not, for instance.

    It's not about just Yelich in a vacuum.

    I personally think that we can keep the majority of these guys and/or consolidate in less "major" ways. Chances are, the 2-3 guys at the bottom of our roster crunch are probably guys that the front office values less than us on the boards think. If the Marlins take 2-3 guys along with Brinson, they'll likely be guys that major league evaluators covet. I don't. You don't get to keep your prospects for an infinite amount of time. You aren't going to have spots for all of them and a large number of them are never going to achieve the assumed (and lofty) level of success you seem to be placing on them.

    It's cute how a team the sucked tailpipe for 100 years and willingly embraced the "lovable losers" moniker now thinks they are somehow baseball royalty. My world would be far less entertaining without the baby bear fans.
  9. 82brewcrew82
    That would probably be a really nice thread on its own.
  10. 82brewcrew82
    Correct me if im wrong, but can it be Hiura? Hasnt been a year since the draft PTBNL
  11. 82brewcrew82
    That is a great thing and I will convince myself to like the trade, but imagine the scenario in 3 years if it is Brinson/Burnes/Harrison where Brinson is a good CF with 3 years left, Burnes is a good #2, and Harrison is knocking on the door all while the Cubs run is crumbling. Your reasonable, what are the odds that all three of those guys pan out, assuming all three leave.
  12. 82brewcrew82
    Yeah, you said that already and I'm sure you've read the counter arguments to that point.
  13. 82brewcrew82
    Right, so we perpetually hoard prospects until, hopefully, it all comes together? Part of the purpose of having those prospects is to obtain more proven assets. Lets see how this plays out and then judge what we have. The other part of hoarding the prospects is to have a longer contention window as well as depth when injuries occur to your team. Yelich has five years of control and is a proven MLB performer. Also, there is still a ton of talent in this system even after a trade like that.
  14. 82brewcrew82
    And those things don't go wrong if we hoard prospects? There is always risk. No, but there might be more room for error when using those prospects on the major league field 2-3 years from now. Right now, we need a lot to comfortably be projected in front of the Cubs. Right, so we perpetually hoard prospects until, hopefully, it all comes together?

    They aren't trading for Yelich and then doing nothing else. They will get pitching.

  17. 82brewcrew82
    I would think so. Yelich is an outstanding ball player. Still doesn't mean the system is drained.
  18. 82brewcrew82
    I'm not sure why you think trading for Yelich is gong to drain the system. I'm also not sure why you think this is changing course.
  19. 82brewcrew82
    If they get Yelich I don't think they move on Cain. I think they roll with some combination of Broxton, Braun, Yelich, Phillips, Thames and Perez. They move Santana in a deal to say Cleveland for Salazar and Kipnis plus a prospect. If all that gets pulled off, I think they go hard after Arietta.
  20. 82brewcrew82
    To me, this trade makes much more sense if you think back the to web-o-trades suggestion. You could still deal Santana for that starter plus sing one of the reaming FA's. There are lots of possibilities here.
  21. 82brewcrew82
    I hear ya. I think there are interchangeable pieces there and it just depends on what the other team likes. Heck, they could use a solid inning eating vet in that rotation. Maybe they want a guy like Davies. This doesn't have to be 100% prospects.
  22. 82brewcrew82
    I think Santana is the next domino. This is how the game is played. Right, I mentioned out of why the need to give up your #1 guy and more when you already have a good guy sitting there that costs you nothing who's also controlled for years. You're thinking in a vacuum. Play it out two moves down the road.
  23. 82brewcrew82
    Why not?
  24. 82brewcrew82
    However, I think Brinson and Robles are close enough that we can outpace the Nats with the rest of the package. Our system is deeper.
  25. 82brewcrew82
    I'm tellin ya..Brinson, Burnes, I. Diaz, Peralta and Pennington..or something pretty close. I’m might not make the trade then...Peralta is the kicker Peralta would be the least worrisome loss in that deal for me.
