I don't think you'll get much for Jackson though. You may just be better off taking the innings he eats at least for this season and hope he bounces back in the second half. His walks are way up but so are the K's. He's always been a guy who's suffered from extreme bad luck. But, IDK how many teams value **** like that and would take a gamble to see if they can change his luck. I think the Shark/Hammel market isn't gonna open up until everyone sees what happens with Price.
well I always knew there was CP, you, SLP and arstyle I think? But, I thought it was just relegated to the NL Central thread.
Theo was on the Waddle and Silvi show earlier and spoke about Braynt, Baez, and Schwarber. As usual Theo was tight lipped and really didn't say much, outside of their sticking to their long term plan. Bryant will get moved up to triple A soon, but don't expect him or Baez to come up anytime soon. They really are taking care of these two. He also sounded extremely happy with the Schwarber pick. The only negative thing was the whole delay with the renovation....ain't much he could do with that and I'm sure it frustrates him, but he's got other things to worry about. He also talked about trying to extend Shark but we all know he's just saying the politically correct thing, he'll be gone soon.
Jackson will get dealt i believe. also Kyle Schwarber has been moved up to class A. dude is on fire right now. Looks like Theo made the right pick.
Castro with another 3 hits today and up over .290 again. Arieta with 11K's and his ERA down under 2.00 for the year. Need these trades to go down so we can see what we come away with.
You'd probably sell him as a 2B...you see how God awful 2B is? He's got the same amount of HR's as Cano! seriously though, he gets on base at a really high clip and he's benefiting from a career high line drive %. Kinda guy you should deal who's gonna be a FA anyway...IMO.
Hey, I'm on board. I'll sell anything that isn't bolted down. I wanted to sell Bonafacio, but he got hurt, so that dampened things. If he can net us another young body, I'd gladly move him. Arieta and Wood look to be keepers for a couple years, Edwin will probably stick to take up innings for a while, and I suspect Ramirez gets moved into the rotation next year. Then we just need 2 arms, one to replace Edwin goin forward, and then a 5th arm overall. At that point, spend for a #1-2 and bump guys down. (maybe they keep Ramirez as a full time closer someday? )
I think they'll bank on getting a #1/#2 in the Shark trade, which they should be able to, and then the first big dip into the FA pool will be another front end starter in '16...maybe Price.
a game set with the pirates this weekend. i think we will take 2 outta 3. This rebuilding process is fun watching knowing that i see progress.
