By the way, Kyle Lohse pitched 6 shutout innings tonight for Milwaukee and has been pitching reallly well. Man if becomes available the Braves need to be all over that.

And give up what?Originally Posted by tvsportscaster
Obviously depends on the price tag, but you would certainly have to consider it. It's all a moot point though, because don't have to and probably won't trade him because he's under contract for two more years.
From all reports and interviews and reading these threads, I think everyone agrees another pen arm, back up infielder and SP are the 3 biggest needs. While unlikely that we could fill all 3 by Wednesday, who would you say are the top options for those 3 needs?
I'd go with Gregerson, Peavy and Bonifacio.
We would have to get up a few guys we dont want to, but id love to add Gregerson and Bonifacio.
Peavy has been scratched for tonite. RedSox in the air. A,s moving on. ANy possibility that Wren gets back in on Peavy with Beachy,s less than spectacular outing last nite???
Looks like the White Sox were bluffing. Maybe the price will have to drop.
I think Wren has one more move. Could be any of the above. I wouldn't be surprised if he got another lefty reliever. Maybe Javier Lopez.
Yeah, that was a total bluff. Not sure what I would give up but I certainly don't want to pay all that salary for next year.
If they aren't getting anything I would give up a Schlosser/Kubitza type package. I doubt that interests them though.

I'd be surprised if the Giants became sellers honestly even though they should.

Shafer has to have some value to a rebuilding team. Very redundant for us now. Seems to me he would be a very good trade chip.
Hell no.
Perfect 4th OF'er.
Works counts, decent defensively, can use him late in the game to steal a bag. We have plenty of chips to not trade Schafer.
I'd love Lohse but not sure what it would cost for him.
Assuming that doesn't happen, I'd like to see Wren add another bullpen arm from the right side. Walden is pretty much our only high leverage righty.
While he may be a perfect 4th OF for us he may well be a perfect starter for some rebuilding or on the rise team. And it aint like we dont have other candidates for the 4th spot.
I don't see how Lohse is an upgrade for us...
You don't think Lohse is better than Medlen, Wood, Maholm, Beachy?
Over Wood, yeah....I'd rather go with Med-Maholm-Beachy than trade a good prospect or 2 for a slight upgrade.
So you do believe he's an upgrade?
His ERA the past 3 years is 3.39. He's certainly better than Maholm. I would take him over Medlen and a Beachy in his current state. That is not to say the cost to obtain him will be feasible.
Plus, we don't need him to get into the playoffs, so it would only be for our playoff rotation.
Teheran, Minor, Medlen....I don't really think Lohse upgrades that in a big enough way to warrant trading a spect. Unless the spect is on a Rasmus level.
I believe he's an upgrade over our 5th starter. I don't think we need to upgrade our 5th starter, though.
