Garza after '11, Shields after '12 were dealt 2 yrs from fr agcy, execs in sport expect same now for Price #Rays

 

 

Good pitcher, but probably not worth the assets required to get him IMO.

Edwards, who coincidentally they obtained from Texas in July for Garza. Also, Cubs minor league pitching coordinator Derek Johnson was Price’s pitching coach at Vanderbilt.

Same as above.

 

Pay full price twice (first prospects, then extension) for a guy with a velocity drop and elbow injury in the last year?

 

No.
