    I'm tellin ya..Brinson, Burnes, I. Diaz, Peralta and Pennington..or something pretty close. Would have to think that package also brings Castro over to fill 2B. It's crossed my mind. Someone on here keeps pushing Prado but Castro makes more sense. Maybe that means Dubon gets worked in somehow.

    Yummy. Cryptic confirmation. Me likey.
  3. 82brewcrew82
    I think Santana is the next domino. This is how the game is played.
  4. 82brewcrew82
    I'd bet neither one of those happen. Probably not— would the nats trade Robles? I think that's closer.

    You have to admit that is the SLIGHTEST of hints.

    Honestly, 95%. That's strong. Yes it is. Are you saying its close to done?
  9. 82brewcrew82
    Yes. You gave a % of the initial trade. What do you think about this one? Honestly, 95%. That's strong.
  10. 82brewcrew82
    Is his name Yelich? I do agree with the sentiment.
  11. 82brewcrew82
    Thank god! Does he think we have a good shot at getting Yelich? Yes. And from the other thread I assume that this would now become move A?
  12. 82brewcrew82
    I would hope so. That would also make me think they see him as more than a bullpen arm.
  13. 82brewcrew82
    To me "not much of a defender" means below average. Everything I have ever read on Diaz says he should be serviceable at second.
  14. 82brewcrew82
    I'd bet at least three of those are gone in a deal for Yelich but I'm not sure why your attached to a couple of them. If Brinson is in the deal then Hiura is probably off the table but every single one of the other guys on your list has some serious question marks. I cant see us dealing Brinson AND Harrison. I can. Harrison is exciting but there are some very serious questions as to whether he can make enough contact in the upper levels.

    I can't speak for everyone here but for me that's not it at all. I love Isan Diaz. I think he's a heck of a prospect. If the Marlins are going to value him the same as Dubon, I'll trade Dubon. But since they're not, I'd rather keep Hiura. Diaz is not being suggested in trades as a 'throw-in', he's being suggested for the opposite reason, he has substantial value, and it's going to take a substantial value offer to land Christian Yelich or other top trade target. So it makes total sense to deal from a position where you already have a higher rated prospect of similar age at the same position. We won 86 games last year and we have a heck of a 40 man roster crunch coming up after 2018. So naturally there is some discussion about using prospects to upgrade the MLB roster now. Guys like Brinson, Ortiz, Diaz, Harrison, etc, are involved in the discussion because these are the types of prospects you're going to have to give up to land guys like Yelich and Archer. If that's too high of a price for some people to pay, sure, I get it, but other people have good reasons for wanting to go the other way with it that are by no means crazy. If all you're willing to offer up is the next tier guys like Dubon, Cody Ponce and Trey Supak, you're not going to land the kind of fish we're talking about. Very well said.

    Because our first round pick is better and Diaz just hit 710 ops in A ball and isn't much of a defender. Admittedly it's a sell low on the guy but he has to start hitting before he can be taken very seriously. That was the first time he hasn't hit and you are overstating the severity of his offensive season. That would also be the first time I'd heard him described as not much of a defender. Hiura makes giving him up easier but he is a quality prospect.
  18. 82brewcrew82
    Charles Bronson can be my 4th OF any day.
  19. 82brewcrew82
    Hiura is coming quick so one of those guys is expendable. Diaz is NOT a throw in player, he is one of our blue chip guys, who should bring back a heck of a lot more than we are hoping for. I don't trade him at all unless we are getting a TOR pitcher in return. Hiura is no sure thing, not even close, so having some depth at a position where we typically have none is comforting. Diaz is tossed around this board like he is nothing, I don't get it. I don't consider him a throw in but you have to give up something to get something. It's going to take quite a bit more than Brinson to get Yelich.

    I'd go Brinson, Burns, I. Diaz, Peralta, and Pennington and not feel like the farm was emptied. Sorry. It just makes sense with Castro probably a short term answer there.

    Nope.
  24. 82brewcrew82
    There are other ways to get pitching than trading Brinson for it.
