2020 Trade Deadline Thread

What did I say that was lol worthy?

That the rotation has been a disaster for a few years.

[CrazyTrain]

Exactly. I would have cut deep for this one. We need starting pitching in the worst way and here was the guy who profiled best no matter which prism you looked through.

It almost looks like Preller kept adding players until the Indians said ok.

Yep

[CrazyTrain]

That the rotation has been a disaster for a few years.

Maybe disaster is too strong, but it's been middle of the road for the last 2 years and this year it's officially a disaster.

Last I heard was about two weeks ago and it was said that Folty had already added about 10 pounds.

Probably a long shot, but be nice if folty mid-90s returned

[clvclv]

Dansby is down to two years of control and getting more expensive and no signs of an extension in sight. And it's still not clear whether he's ever going to be a star.

Braves have basically no PA vs LHP, but man their numbers vs lefties are bad. Dansby is at a 17 wRC+, I think,.

Don't think a Dansby extension is too much of a concern - if they want him beyond the point that they already control him, he's not likely going anywhere. Dansby's turning into a really solid player, but he's not the type of guy someone's going to pay a huge amount to land as a free-agent. Hometown discounts get talked about with a lot more players that are likely to ever give them, but Dansby and Freeman are two of those more likely to than not.

This tells me they feel pretty good about Hamel’s return.

Also....we aren’t going to take much salary on unless we subtract one (like Ender). Count on it.

I don’t think you can count on him for anything other then what he’s been lately although I hope I’m wrong.
Our best hope for internal options imo is Wright to learn how to pitch and trust his stuff and Hamels to not be injured.
Although I think the Braves are wrong, I doubt they give Touki another chance.

I want to see fat Folty with a huge beard pumping 98.

[Southcack77]

I recant my statement for the most part. I do like how preller went all in on the rebuild and loaded up on prospects. He got great value from the international market as well as trades and drafting. That team is pretty damn good and has a good farm to boot. He has done a good job.

Preller is a pretty good example of how a GM can't really go too wrong by tearing an organization down early.

You know, if you don't get busted lying and cheating and then insist on continuing to lie and cheat.

[QUOTE=GovClintonTyree;700709I have a knowledgable buddy who's a season ticket holder in SD who says they have plenty left in the system, but even if they didn't, they don't fly flags for best farm system.[/QUOTE]

Interesting comment about the flags.

Interesting comment about the flags.

Ensheff Commenting on flags fly forever in 3,2,1

Lol

The other day he say why Cleveland is going to trade Clevinger if they have a team to make it to the World Series.

[Southcack77]

I don't think the Padres are very likely to fly a 2020 flag, but whatever.

It will now be of interest to see if the Indians flip some of these prospects for an OF or if moving Clevinger was just about clearing air in the clubhouse and trying to extend their run with a fresh crop of prospects.

[Dalyn]

Clevinger will really help the Padres. Very strong get. What a tough team.

[TheBravos]

Even if we did end up getting Clevenger ...I don’t think that puts us over the top. With no Soroka , Fried still being pretty young, Anderson a rookie, and Hamels questionable to start one game ever,,,would that been enough?

No.

The trade would have set us up nicely for the next two years for sure. That’s actually what I would have been more excited about. I just don’t see us winning it all this year.

Why not?

They are 5th in pitching WAR and just added a solid pitcher who was 4+ the last two seasons. They are #1 in hitting WAR. #8 in DEF.

[Super]

man reactions here always crack me up

[UNCBlue012]

The A’s get Minor

[striker42]

The A’s get Minor

There goes my prediction.

My new prediction is no additions. I don't think we have any money.

[Super]

two PTBNL for Minor.
might just be a money thing in Atlanta.
