Alberto Callaspo Possibly Being Traded

[nsacpi]

Still can't understand why they would do this. Lee is major league ready and has higher upside than Martin.

Hope we're not giving up something important

They badly want Stults. Looks like Project Flipper has notched its first success.

There is no way we get that for Stultz/Cahill. We wouldn't deal Perez or

Folty would we?

#Braves believed to be getting a young power arm in addition to Uribe in the trade. A pitcher they could be up in big leagues by 2016.

Julio Urias?

Yeah, Lee or Anderson is a better prospect than I would have expected back. Might mean a Daniel Castro type talent or better is heading the other way.

Julio Urias?

He's a top 5 prospect in all of baseball according to some. Doubt that unless we're talking about someone like Wood

Julio Urias?

By that description would make more sense than Zach Lee.

 

[nsacpi]

Julio Urias?

Would be nice but would be shocked.

Thought this might be our guy but he may be in their pen by now:

17) Yimi Garcia, RHP, Grade C+: Age 24, another solid relief option, 3.10 ERA with 69/18 K/BB in 61 innings in Triple-A, 1.80 ERA with 9/1 K/BB in 10 big league innings. Nothing left to prove in the minors,

You're right. We would have to include CJ to get that deal to work.

Yimi's got some nasty stuff... He's up now but I would gladly take him

The great thing about trading Alberto Callaspo and Eric Stults or Trevor Cahill is that it's pretty much impossible not to make a good deal.

 

[sturg33]

If we get anything decent in this trade we gotta be giving up more than Cahill... Probably Martin at the worst, if not more

 

[Tapate50]

Rhame maybe?

23) Jake Rhame, RHP, Grade C+: Age 21, sixth round pick from a Texas junior college in 2013, posted 2.00 ERA with 90/14 K/BB in 67 innings, 48 hits. Ridiculous strikeout rate based on legitimate fastball/slider combination.

Yeah, that's something that has been entertaining about this whole thread. Usually, the hope and anticipation is centered on the guys who are potentially coming back, not the ones leaving.

Huh? If we give up two very good prospects and get back a lesser one that won't be good. But that is the type of deal I would expect the Dodgers to go for.

 

[Julio3000]

Zach Lee or Chris Anderson, possibly, per MLBTR.

They just passed along Bowman's tweet there.

@JonHeymanCBS: callaspo's other hesitation this morning was that the #dodgers are already 3 deep at 3B (and have kendrick for 2B)
