Jaque Jones possibility...

[cubbyvirus00]

Do you think they'll swing a trade for a CF now with Jones, since they just signed Marquis? I think our pitching is satisfactory for now, we need to upgrade at SS and CF.

 

Maybe Jones + prospect for ________?

[Drew Doughty]

We don't need to upgrade at CF. We need to upgrade at short, but I don't think we should create a hole in center unless we're getting a great offensive player that can hide Pie in the bottom of the order.

I posted this in the Jones for Jennings trade thread... but Oakl;and needs an OF'er to replace Jay Payton and are looking to sign Floyd. If we swipe Floyd, Jones could be a valuable trade piece. They're kind of stacked with OF'ers as it is, but if they want an OF'er along the lines of Payton, why not offer Jones who is better? Perhaps they'd be willing to part with Javier Herrera, who looks to be a similar version of Felix Pie, yet is the 6th top prospect in their organization according to BA.

At the same time, perhaps we could spin him or Pie off in a trade for quality pitching. It seems as if Pie could net a better pitcher than Jennings. And Herrera is damn good looking at those stats, and is the same age.

 

If not one of their young OF prospects, maybe one of their young pitchers (Joe Blanton, Brad Halsey) could be had in a spruced up Jones package

 

Just talking and throwing it out there.

I gave my thoughts on the matter here

as I have mentioned a couple times in the other thread, one advantage of Marquis is the depth of pitching that is now available, so this scenerio is even more doable as when I posted it.

Might as well trade off Marshall and Mateo too since we won't be needed them anytime soon since we have like 8 mediocre veterans ahead of them
