Corey Ray!!!!!!
I'd say Cordell would be a pretty good get. My primary target would be Brett Phillips, but with him getting called up and Brinson's struggles in the bigs so far not sure he'd be immediately available. Could maybe go for something like Cordell + Cody Ponce?
The Brewers do have a plethora of tantalizing OF options in the Minors. Apparently they were talking Ian Kinsler + Justin Wilson with Detroit. I wonder what the Braves could get if they offered Garcia, Phillips, and a BP arm (JJ) -- with substantial salary relief.
I'd love Brinson. Wonder what that would take to happen.
All this is really unanswerable, that's why. At the deadline, for a contending team to fill two positions of need with at least decent options, including the contender's premium...I mean, I could see them being willing to part with something like Brett Phillips or Trent Clark.
You realize the 2 guys you just named are both FV 45 guys, and are almost exactly as valuable as Cordell, right?
I picked Cordell from that tier of OFers because he hits RHed, can play CF, is ready now, and isn't yet on their MLB roster.
Garcia's value is pretty widely considered (except around here) to be a FV 40 guy if the team takes his whole contract, or a FV 45 guy is the Braves eat his contract.

All the money the Dodgers have and have spent and they still may need to pony up a ton to get Darvish. It's not easy to just throw money at pitching and it's not fun to throw prospects at it.
I think both are clearly better prospects than Cordell, certainly in terms of potential.
Trent Clark, the guy posting a .771 OPS in A+ and isn't a lock to stay in CF?
Brett Phillips, who according to FG, "has the chance to be the larger half of a platoon in right field, but that the swing-and-miss prevents him from profiling as a true everyday player"?
That's better than Cordell? I think Cordell is what posters around here think DPete is...if DPete could play CF.

So apparently Seattle is 'all in' and interested in Gray/controllable starters.
Question: would any of y'all move Teheran in a deal for Kyle Lewis?

You betcha

I would not do that deal 1 for 1.
I don't see how they can get anyone with that farm system. I'd need a player to be named later and that player would need to be their number one pick next year.
I like both more than Cordell. I don't know why that is hard to believe. Even Longenhagen likes Clark more. And I get that you believe Longenhagen is the best prospect guy out there, and I don't know that I would argue with that, but I don't know why you act as though he's the only guy worth mentioning or that his values are set in stone and the exact value of that particular prospect.
All of these lists are simply the opinion of one person.
Would I move Teheran in a deal that included Lewis? Maybe, though I can't see a deal with anyone else in that farm system I'd pull the trigger on.
Would I move him for just Lewis? No way.
Amen. I think some have a boner for this guy but I don't think he's a top 50 prospect.
Yeah, I like Cordell and think he could have a role, but if we give up Jaime, BP, and Cash and all we get is Cordell then we failed
The point wasn't that I like one of them more than other.
The point is that they are almost equal in value.
That's probably fairly accurate, though I think Clark and Phillips would be fairly consistently rated higher than Cordell across the league. I was just evaluating it from my perspective, so I would want more than Cordell for that package. I don't see much in him.
Julio and Dat Dude would be more like it. If they wanted JJ too, I'd think we'd be crazy not to do that.
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
You are the guy who has consistently complained that the Braves would only end up with guys with an FV < 50 and now you are suggesting a guy that your man Longenhagen has at a pre-season 45. Not following.
