Garza to Texas for CJ Edwards, Olt, Grimm & Neil Ramirez

[RammyFanny]

The Cotillo kid says he's heard Luke Jackson. Piecing everything together, it sounds like the deal we've mentioned a few times might be right:

 

Olt

Edwards

Jackson

 

Not the best, not the worst. Obviously hinges on Olt, who ironically is batting 8th against Iowa tonight with 2 K's and a BB. Could look alot better if we could swap Olt for Feliz or something.

uuugghh no Olt

 

if we get good pitchers back, i see no reason to freak out about Olt. he still intrigues me greatly.

Agreed. And Theo & Jed aren't going to take him back if they don't have some notion he can turn it around.

Hearing deal w/ TEX for Garza may be close, 1-2 other teams in mix. Names you hear wrt TEX are accurate, but Cubs hoping someone offers more

 

Still hoping for my best case scenario of Cechini or Pederson, regardless of the pitching included

Better hope it's not the same notion they had about Ian Stewart.

I don't won't Jackson because he doesn't wear his hat correctly. That's a deal breaker.

he's terrible and waste of time trying to fix.

Olt, Edwards, and Jackson represents a pretty nice value for Garza. And also represents a huge blow to 2014 by losing Garza while getting back minimal value that can contribute right away.

[mike2482]

Would that be better or worse than what we gave up to get him?

[Guest]

a relatively bad half a season and now he's unfixable

Hearing right now that it looks like two pitchers and a position player with Olt a possibility, but Cubs may prefer Sardinas.

[RammyFanny]

Olt finishes with a golden sombrero against Iowa.

Chart slash line, BB rate, and K rate by age/level and compare Jackson and Olt.

[Elrhino]

Olt's potential is worth a throw in as a dirt cheap buy low candidate, but I don't think Jed/Theo have any systematic formula to turn Olt around that the Rangers don't (see Julio Borbon). It's not like the Rangers system hasn't developed talent.

i don't know, there are some decent FA options out there, including Garza

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Vitters has a better chance at being a big league 3B than Olt.

and his IsoP and IsoD are off the charts

Not enough. I'd want Sardinas or Alfaro in the deal if I'm #Cubs. RT @Ryan_Probasco: @ProfessorParks Like Luke Jackson or CJ Edwards at all?

[Guest]

if he wasn't having a half a down season, he wouldn't be available.

[Elrhino]

I wonder if we might throw in Vitters in a package involving Olt as a mutual change of scenery deal. Otherwise one of them will have to change positions when Vitters gets back to Iowa.

Odor over Sardinas for me, if I had a choice.

Did Olt bang your girlfriend/wife? I get being sour on him, but yeesh lol.
