    You add Odor or Sardinas to the trio and that is absolutely ridiculous value for Garza. That's 3 guys who are either currently top 100 or at least in the honorable mention for the top 100.

    I'm not sure how to feel. On one hand one of the earth's greatest douches finally gets his; on the other hand, my fantasy keeper league team is now fairly screwed.
  3. Tryptamine
    Fine with me. From the little I saw, I wasn't particularly impressed.

    ABTY7

    Although I'm irritated that this is going to drag on even longer, at least we don't have to worry about Olt being in the package anymore. This health snafu may end up netting the Cubs a better package.

    Give me any 3 of Jackson/Edwards/Olt/Odor/Sardinas/Alfaro and I'm completely thrilled with this trade. Ideally I'm hoping it's Edwards/Jackson/Odor.

    Wow I just now realized I completely forgot to put Valbuena's name in my post. I was wondering why people were confused. Obviously it makes no sense to call up Lake just to trade him.
  8. Tryptamine
    [expletive] Cleveland. I don't want Mr. Bauer. Nor do I, but I like Salazar quite a bit.
  9. Tryptamine
    Junior Lake is getting called up and Levine was on ESPN 1000 just recently saying he could be in a deal with Garza going to Cleveland. There's a decent amount of smoke there.

    I don't really care whatsoever if they land a pitcher. They just need to land a high quality chip and then they can decide how they want to use it later.
  11. Tryptamine
    Perez, Odor, Alfaro for Garza+Sori

    33 innings over 2 seasons, you can't really take much from that. And i'm not going to pretend to know everything on him, but what I read through the twitter leaves is that he is listening to a ton of people and changing his style, but he is attributing his struggles to that and would like to switch back. Also he's 22 years old. 22 years old and people are apparently expecting him to be all-star caliber already. There will be growing pains, and his upside is tremendous. He's worth targeting, IMO. It's the fact that he relies on people chasing to get outs. He'd rather walk a guy then throw a strike and let his defense do the work. He's also been on record about how he likes to pitch up in the zone. When you're facing ML players with legit bat speed, that's going to result in a ton of home runs. These are the kind of strategies that might work in the low minors, but they aren't going to work against the best of the best.

    Cecchini+Owens+Workman for Garza+Vogelbach makes a lot of sense to me. Granted I'd rather have Ranaudo, but that seems unlikely.
  14. Tryptamine
    I don't even particularly want Bauer anymore even if it was Bauer plus for Garza. The guy has been an unmitigated disaster in his brief time in the bigs and his complete unwillingness to change his style makes him not all that interesting. If he's willing to throw strikes and take a chance at giving up hits rather than walking the park then maybe we talk. The same thing goes with his refusal to stop intentionally pitching up in the zone.

    Are you looking for something along the lines of the only name I recognize is Yeiper Castillo because he's in the Cubs system now? Xander Bogaerts is one of the top 10 prospects in all of baseball. Jose Iglesias just won AL Rookie of the Month for June. Junichi Tazawa has been a very good reliever the past season and a half. Michael Almanzar is a pretty good prospect too. They obviously have their share of big money busts. I always thought Hanley Ramirez and Anibal Sanchez were signed by Theo's regime but I guess they predated him. Bogaerts alone is worth several years of nothing. Add in Iglesias and Tazawa and I think it's pretty clear they've done well in an extremely hit or miss scenario.

    Still no walks since May 12 and we're nearing the two month mark. He's got to be closing in on an MLB record at this point.
  17. Tryptamine
    Definitely. He looked patient without being passive.
  18. Tryptamine
    and Garza almost takes one in the face because of Dale.
  19. Tryptamine
    58 extra base hits for Chris Davis already. That puts him on pace for 111 extra base hits. He's also managed to raise his SLG to .731 to go with a 1.137OPS. It's just getting stupid at this point.
  20. Tryptamine
    The previous 4 posts make me irrationally happy.
  21. Tryptamine
    I may be in the minority, but I really like Arrieta. Loved the peripherals last year and I'd prefer him over Britton and Matusz.
  22. Tryptamine
    There goes #31. All I can think to say is "WTF?".
  23. Tryptamine
    Rookie will now get his first career hit to end the game.
  24. Tryptamine
    Of course he is promptly walked in typical bullpen fashion.
  25. Tryptamine
    Hey look, another extra base given up by Bogusevic. That's 4 in 2 games now.
