But to be more realistic, what does a trade for Miller look like? Their interest in Vogelbach has come up more than once and makes a lot of sense(other than Greg Bird being another version of Vogelbach, only with a severe shoulder injury). They're the Yankees so any other pieces are probably going to need to be close to MLB ready. Does Almora and Vogelbach match up? The Yankees have no high minors CF hope, their OF is olllld and Ellsbury isn't a great CF defender anymore. Miller, while a reliever, is currently an elite of elites reliever and he's under control for 2.5 years. That feels like close to the right amount of 'both teams' fans aren't happy' for it to be possible.

Trading Schwarber to the Yankees requires a third team because there is no lead piece good enough to get him. You're talking like, Archer and Miller to the Cubs for Schwarber and miscellany to get close, that sorta thing. But this is more likely the accurate answer:

If we're rummaging through guys who haven't proven themselves as major leaguers, how much luster has Archie Bradley lost? He's not ideal(not a strike thrower, elbow injury in 2014), but the upside is what you'd need for it to be worth the gamble on someone less proven. I also remain a Drew Hutchison fan, if the Jays are as ready to be done with him as their treatment of him implies.

The operative question is what way is the wind blowing, as Hamels had 3-4 home runs blown back to the warning track his last outing here. -
Sure, although the odds of him getting MLB relief appearances by the deadline seem real low.
-
yeah. and i'd be at less than small bummer if nothing happened. Same, if some combination of Edwards, Nathan, Grimm, or Wood look good over the next few weeks, my only lament will be that there isn't a true LOOGY to replace Richard, which is the nitpickiest of complaints.

BrooksBaseball says 11 fastballs and 5 curves, no sliders.

Nothing = a small bummer LHRP = fine good SP = good RP and good SP = great

Contreras's desire to backhand pitches in the dirt is confusing

you found that picture and posted it in one minute

He can be Clark's secretary Have you ever seen Clark and Dempster in the same place?
-
I think Garlin only came back because he was so wasted he forgot to actually do the promo/announcement he was there to do.
-
Dempster for an entire game over 1 inning of Garlin.
-
btw, Edwards really does have some deception or effective velocity on that fastball, I've never seen so many hitters that look straight fooled by a 95 mph 4 seamer

This would actually be kinda brilliant if it were some type of Harry/Maddon mashup.

I have recited the Ferrell SNL bit in its entirety on more than one occasion so maybe I'm not the person to judge, but this is bad
-
Szczur is probably getting DFA'd by September, but he looks a lot like a Reed Johnson-esque lefty masher
-
Contreras is going to infuriate opposing fans so much

Perez gonna get get that 3rd time thru the order penalty in spades if that inning is any indication

Ryan Rua was a freshman at my high school when I was a senior. Really weird to think that he became a major leaguer when at the time I don't think he was particlarly good on the Freshman baseball team.

Well yes, I suppose if Correa jumps from being a 4.5-5 win player to an 8 win player starting next year that would make him more valuable than Bryant. Who wants to put money on that happening though?

Minor League Musings
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Little Slide Rooter's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Come on, we're not talking about Matt Craig ripping up AA as a 25 year old, Vogelbach was a high bonus 2nd rounder and has a .311/.424/.543 line with great peripherals in AAA. He has very real limitations that prevent him from being mega valuable, but we're also talking about a list that made room for Clifton and Underwood so it's not exactly a huge leap of faith to include him. -

Underwood's going to show up in Top 10's until he's 27 and still can't beat AAA, he's the pitching Hak-Ju Lee.
