So let's trade a Peralta whos pitching like an Ace and our top prospect as well as other prospects for another Ace. And then put more salary on the books. Yeah, I like sending $100 to get $90.00. 4, count em 4 starts at the MLB level (one he got rocked) and we're anointing him an ace? C'mon bro. Yeah thats exactly what I said when I wrote "like an Ace"

Peraltas resume isn’t even in the same hemisphere as Degrom or Syndergaards. He’s had 3 good starts and one bad one. If you’re going to use three good starts to decide that he’ll be able to pitch at the same level as Degrom or Syndergaard then I don’t know what to say to you. You don't trade all your nails for a hammer when your building a house today.

These ideas of trading Hiura and Peralta just makes me shake my head. And then the idea of trading Hader WILL NEVER HAPPEN this year folks. Isn't the idea to minor league assests to win now? But Peralta is helping now and could be a big component in September and further. Hiura has hit at every level he has played at (including spring training). The brewers are an Shaw or Villar or Perez injury away from a possible call up. I believe Hiura could be a huge asset in September or the playoffs as a bench bat alone. A man in scoring position and a Hiura base hit is just as valuable as the homerun in a tight playoff game. I work in physical therapy and you don't want to be messing around with a strained ligament (Syndergard) as ligaments have little blood supply hence the reason ligament injuries take forever to heal and can flare up in the future out of thin air. Syndergard has already had one set back btw. Brewers are best to set a minor league budget of who they want to give up. For me this would include anyone not named Peralta, Hiura and Burnes. They may also mean that you may only subject to Hamels or Happ which I would rather be on board with than the Mets big 2. I would also be open to Kyle Gibson from the Twins who happens to be pitching well this year or Tyson Ross from the Padres. Its foolish to trade assets who can help you win this year. Robbing Peter to pay Paul in every sense. Happ can be this years Verlander and Houston didn't break the bank for Verlander either. Brewers can't afford to be throwing money or "value" away at pretty stats.

I'm going to go out and say the Crew picks McClanahan.

Part of me also says there might be an injury lurking. And maybe he's buying time to sign that offer. At which time he will have to pass a physical.

I don't think anyone is going to buy into his rumors again, I think he was merely stating how interesting if he was right yet again? I believe he made the call on the last week of March about 2-3 weeks ago, which is a fairly bold call at that point. Looking back at the guy sifting through past posts he looked to have a pretty good track record. Is there a chance that Cobb could be hurt? Do teams have access to a FA medical records if something just came up. Are teams at least allowed to watch him workout? If I'm any team and I can see him pitch right now. And he looks to be sharp. I might give him the offer he wants.

What prediction?
