Interest in Carl Crawford?

Just browsing through message boards and seen this....

 

Apparently, Tampa Bay radio stations are reporting the deal is close and that the Cubs would get Crawford for Hill, Cedeno, and Marmol.

 

Ick.

If this ends up being the deal, I'm driving my car to Chicago and kicking someone's ass.

Well, Lee, Lilly, ARam, Z, Sori, and Hill all had higher VORPs than Crawford last year.

I'll volunteer to hold them down.

Gross. Carl Crawford VORPed 38, while Hill and Marmol VORPed 40.3 and 34.5 respectively.

Eeek. That's a pretty high price.

[inari]

Hm... I wonder if there's any truth to it.

I have a bad feeling there is.

Does some of a players VORP depend upon how good a team he was on? Surely that must matter.

[inari]

Anyone know what Tampa radio station this is apparently coming from? I'm sure they steam online...

[imb]

I'm sure that Tampa, being the baseball hotbed that it is, scooped Chicago radio stations on such a big trade.

 

I don't buy it.

No. All it measures is the runs produced by a given player compared to a replacement player for that same position.

FWIW, apparently Levine said something about it earlier today.

[inari]

To answer my own question, this is the station that is apparently reporting it:

I'm at work and can't listen right now. Someone else try.

[Mephistopheles]

Yikes.

[XZero771679666304]

Yikes.

 

 

Yeah, that's about how I feel about it.

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

What a terrible deal this would be.

[TheDude]

The only part of the deal I don't like is the inclusion of Marmol instead of a prospect. Otherwise it's a fair deal.

I'm not sure why it would be unbelievable for a Tampa radio station to scoop the Chicago radio stations for such a trade.

[Guest]

Ouch. I like Crawford and think he could be a star (not a superstar, but a star) for the next 5 years. But Hill + Marmol? One or the other is fine. Both is a bit outrageous.

[inari]

Okay, I've got the stream going at work... they're not saying anything about a deal yet. I'll keep listening.

[brinoch]

That would be really awful. Unless that's Koyie Hill, rather than Rich Hill.

[PrimeTime]

Apparently some Rays Mesage board, Yes,surpisingly they do have a board, is shooting down this rumor now..so who knows
