    Gattis Traded To Astros (pg. 13)

    We're under the impression that Texas was much more interested in Gattis than they were Justin. If that's indeed the case, I wonder if he might net a Ryan Rua and Nomar Mazara or Nick Williams return and whether Hart would take that. I just don't see any other potential fits at this point unless Baltimore wants to make Steve Pearce a full-time OF.

    Other potential landing spots anyone???

    Don't think Seattle has ever gone off the table.

    I thought about Seattle, but just can't imagine they'd play him or Cruz in the OF. Have to admit Seth Smith looks like a better match for them at this point and would probably cost much less.
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    I still see the A's as a potential landing spot along with Texas, Houston, among others.

    Not sure he fits in Oakland with Butler there unless Beane is willing to use him behind the plate, but I wouldn't mind a Renato Nunez and Boog Powell return.

    I could probably get on board with a Domingo Santana and Colin Moran package from the Astros.

    Gattis needs to be moved asap. Might as well go full deal with this asset sell off. He should bring a nice return, but ask for less prospects, but higher quality.

    Regarding Gattis' trade value, we got a pretty solid read last night when Derek Norris was traded.

    Norris, like Gattis, is an offensive catcher with below average defense. Both are under control for 4 years. I thought Oakland got a good return in Hahn and Alvarez.

    Gattis has a bad back, and will be 30 when the new stadium opens.

    TRADE HIM NOW.

    Mazara and Jake Thompson would be a solid return.

    Whatever team has a pitcher who has had the most recent tommy john surgery. Ideally a starting pitcher.

    Just off the top of my head

    P.S., chances of Teheran and Wood both being top 20 pitchers are slim. Both outpitched their FIP by a significant margin last year and lost a great OF defender and downgrade from Upton to Gattis in LF.
    Want to guess how many pitchers have a lower ERA (or ERA+ if you prefer) than Julio since the start of 2013? Same question for Wood?


    I'll give you a hint, it isn't 20.

    Why would you use foolish facts like how a pitcher performed? That doesn't make any sense at all. Teheran and Wood are both studs.

    Its funny how giles hypes up Nats players but always downplays some players on the Braves when we say good things about them.

    But he isnt a Nats fan.

    Both are very good young pitchers. That doesn't mean I have to drink the "both are going to be top 20 pitchers" kool aid.
