Charlie Blackmon available

Markakis is a safer bet than Blackmon by a mile.

He gonna get 40 million?

I thought we were talking about Blackmon.
I'm not against Craig, and sure, at that price, which is basically nothing at all, I'd do it.
Don't think we could get him that low.

Sorry, I had Allen on the mind.

RE: Blackmon -- I'd take him, but nowhere near at what Colorado is going to be asking considering his value is probably at its pinnacle (see: Evan Gattis).

[yeezus]

He gonna get 40 million?

If he puts up 3 more years similar to some of Markakis' he will, yeah.

I think last season is exactly why Craig could be obtained for a pittance should a team actually be interested in making a deal.

Thank you Hawk, I'm glad someone else sees the value in adding Craig, who considering all the circumstances, is the right player at the right time.

Sometimes college position players are advanced enough that they only need a couple years in the minors. I have no idea if such a player exists in the current draft, so who knows.

Certainly, it's possible. But, can you name three positional prospects who were drafted made it to the Majors within ONE season, within the last 15 drafts?
