    He moves the needle a bunch in my opinion. He adds a bunch of defense at first and solid run producing (53 rbis). Somehow only 3 gdp's and respectable strikeout rate which means he probably make productive outs. We could still use another middle of the order bat at 2B, 3B, or DH (maybe OF).

    The Angels are a joke, their rotation still isn't very good. Giolito is like a solid 3 when you get to the playoffs. There backend of the bullpen is solid with Estevez and Moore, Lopez can be a passable 7th inning guy but unspectacular. They have plenty of guys on offense if they could get healthy. However when healthy they aren't a great defensive or base running team. They have like an 8% chance of making the playoffs. Add on the worst minor league system after this trade. If they almost no interesting trade prospects after O'Hoppe who is there catcher just hurt. Why would Shohei stay with what they have. Almost nothing after a injury prone Trout.

    I think the quote there of not wanting to spare run prevention is huge. Santana is a huge 1st upgrade, +6 runs. Rowdy can focus on DH when back. My guess is Jeimer Candalario has to be our top target. He isn't a gold glover but has had a positive runs scored metric. Jorge Polanco would be an interesting name for 2B. He is set to come off the IL any day and is a solid defense 2B who could be a big improvement offensively. The Twins have Julian playing really well at 2B and I am sure there is something we have in an arm that would be interesting to them. He also has 2 reasonable team options if he plays well the rest of the way.

    I vote no hesitantly. Obviously there is always a trade that would be to good to pass up. However we shouldn't be cash strapped for 3/4 years unless we really want to sign all 3 of the big 3.

    Great deal, Severino has a little upside but Santana has been pretty good lately and will help 1st and DH. If he can hit .250/.350 the rest of the way it would be huge.

    Would he move the needle, yes but not as much as using the same resources for a bat. The problem with Rodriguez is that he is a good number 4 starter (possible #3 at times) who was awesome to start the year and has slowly been coming back down to earth. He also 3 year at 16ish mill a year and that only gets picked up if he blows out his arm or is truly awful. My guess is that he would cost a top 10 and top 20 prospect and using that capital could get us 2 good bats. Say it would cost Eric Brown and Logan Henderson for Rodriguez (and that might not be enough seeing what Giolito was traded for) We could trade EBJ for Jeimer and maybe a small throw in. Then Henderson for cj cron (maybe a bit more from us.

    This. If Woody pitches well I doubt his contract would be to crazy. 5/100ish maybe an opt. out or the last year or two are options. Burnes will still bring in a top50-ish prospect and at least a couple other strong pieces (I still love Burnes for Goldschimt and a second piece in the offseason). Adames hasn't hit well enough to pay or for someone to give a substantial trade package.

    What about a trade for a mlb ready prospect with the Rangers, they have Seager, Semien, Duran in the bigs and then Acuna and Foscue in the upper minors. I think Foscue is mlb ready and fits our mold of low k players. Foscue for Houser and a throw in or Foscue for Daniel Guiallrte and Janson Junk. Connor Norby and Michael Busch would probably be similar prospects. However Busch is more a LF/1B defensively. Edit:Tyler Freeman would be interesting to.

    Can't trade deadline, need to keep at it. August 1 though will be a sloppy night in the front office.

    We really need a 2B or 3B (move Montesario/Miller to 2B). I kind of like the idea of Tim Anderson he won't cost much and I think he is the type of guy who will respond well to a pennett chase. Obviously he has sucked this year and hasn't played 2B but the upside is pretty large. CWS might even pay most of his salary.

    I like McMahon alot, I really thought when he was a prospect and young player he would be a .300 hitter (his k rate is probably a big reason). I feel like he is a better version of Brain Anderson. If the price isn't to steep I would jump at it. I would mind Gasser, Urias, and a throw in for McMahon. The Rockies get a desperately needed mlb ready pitcher and upside bat in need of a new place. We get a solid 3B/2B/1B capable of consistent batting. I also agree that he could strangely be a better hitter away from Coors. His home/away splits are similar this year, but better at Coors.

    Like a 3 games to a week and Wilken goes to Appleton and Boeve goes to A ball?
  13. jay87shot
    Winker, Sousa, Mejia, Taylor, Jones are all potential players to lose there 40 man.
  14. jay87shot
    Agreed, between that, the Weimer bat flick, and the Urias lean back there is obviously a gap in teaching better swing mechanics. It seems like it took Turang a while to adjust to each level when he went through the minors. Hopefully it is just taking a bit longer in the bigs. We definitely need a different everyday 2B the rest of the way (or 3B and Montaserio plays 2B).

    Would Josh Bell be a trade candidate? He has a 16 million dollar player option for next year that I would assume he will pick up at this point. He is a little better defensively than Rowdy and would be a decent boost at DH. My guess would be that he would cost very little in the way of prospects for a lower salary team like the Guardians. With guys like Lauer, Urias, Rowdy, Taylor possibly not being tendered and some FA's Caratini, Anderson, Miley, Winker we should be able to afford him next year (not to mention a possible trade of the big 3).

    In general i agree, however if Ohtani gets traded it would make up for a lot. I could see prices for slightly above average players being crazy high. There are some players like Goldschmidt, Hader, Snell, Bieber, Bednar, Scherzer, Verlander, and other who could make it interesting. The problem is there is very little depth, when out top target is someone like Candelario there is very little depth. On top of that, there are like 8 teams who need bats (plural) and maybe half a dozen truly solid good trade candidates.

    Any chance Chourio goes up to AAA soon or even the big league club. He is so hot it would make sense to try and bump him up. If he goes to AAA he could be a September call up, also there isn't a great AAA OF group with Frelich up.

    Luke Adams got 282.5k last year so most of those guys could sign for 300k-ish. Letson and Gholston maybe around 500k since they were ranked prospects.

    Grichuk and CJ Cron for Keston, JC Mejia/Peter Strezlecki, and Gregory Barrios We take on cash and get to potential better bats, the Rockies get 2 higher potential mlb ready guys who can audition this year and a lotto type prospect. Jeimer Candelario for Logan Henderson and Tyrone Taylor Henderson is a steep price to pay for a rental but Candelarii fits our needs well. C)Contreras 1B)Cron 2B) Montesario SS) Adames 3B) Candy LF) Yeli CF) Weimer/Frelick (send Weimer down for a couple weeks to get extra season of control and give Frelick a look) RF)Grichuk DH)rotate (eventually Rowdy) Bench) Miller, Anderson, Caratini, Perkins/Tapia, Turang/Peyton Henry/Alex Jackson That really lengthens out the offense and allows for CC to still have lots of matchup options. Maybe bring a 3rd catcher up so Caratini can play more. No more .200 hitters in the middle of the order. Willy could drop down to 6.

    I like the strategy used. In my opinion we got a 1st and 4 solid 2nd round talents (3 with 1st round potrntial). We also got to chose a couple of our scouts favorites like Woodward and Birchard. Then we took 2 or 3 HS kids who could have been top 5 round picks in 11-20 if one of the early HS guys doesn't sign.
  23. jay87shot
    France would be ok but he does have an obp under .700. He was great the previous 2 years, but the Mariners are going to want a 2022 price for a guy who has been Brian Anderson-ish this year. If the price is like Hendry Mendez and Logan Henderson I think that could be doable but my guess is the M's would want more than that.
  24. jay87shot
    He is having a very 2018 season where he was solid the first 100 games. Hopefully he his Barry Bonds-esque like the end of 2018 as well.
  25. jay87shot
    What is the amount for 11-20 rounders that starts to count against the bonus. Was it 150k?
