I can't understand why people think so lowly of Jim Johnson on here....some bad luck over a low number of innings? Playing with fire when have have 30+ year old catchers; which is the number 1 reason going for Lucroy was dumb. Sell high on Flowers right now/

a C+ pitcher with a little bit of upside in a ball

yeah, i remember. just too lazy to look up.

Where were Andruw Jones numbers at that age?

They are inconsistent and overpaid. What happens when you sign one for 15 mil and he puts up 4.5 ERA?

When have I said Harper is better than Trout? They are both going to go down as among the great hitters of all time. Trout may end up number 1 and Harper will be way up there if they both stay healthy.

It is going to have to be a big market team bc a team like us cannot throw 400 million on one player. But, Harper is going to be 26, which is young for that type of contract. How much would you pay for his 26-32 seasons and then have to deal with the last couple years? $400 million may be a...

People need to stop thinking big market teams act like small or mid market teams. The Cubs can just buy free agents and spend a fortune on international players. They can "overpay" in trades without much concern. And THEY WON!

Not THETHE expectations!

Lopez, McCann, Salty, Flowers, Perez to a lesser degree Gattis, Bethancourt, Pena

What kind of nonsense is this? We have had some of the best catchers in baseball come through the system.

http://www.pgatour.com/stats/stat.02564.html Speith is 36th in strokes gained putting. Granted, if there was a 40 foot putt to win, I would probably take him over anyone. What he's elite at is approach shots. He doesn't drive the ball far or very accurate at all, but he is the best at...

Verlander is the type we should look to go after as a bridge for other guys. Especially if they would give up a prospect.

I agree he is better than Julio. I just don't think Julio is an ace.

Gray seems to be overrated on this board. He's decent, but he's not a top of the rotation type pitcher. I just don't get the desire to trade any combo of high upside players for a 2/3 type starter. Plays in a pitchers park. He's basically a young version of Porcello.

He's probably not the best putter to be honest. He is probably the best at long putters, but he's not near the best in short to intermediate putts. It just look good with him rolling in long ones.

I mean, I'm not changing advisors over a 2% difference. That is only a couple hundred thousand dollar difference per year for me. Not worth the hassle.

Agree on the bearish on O'Neill. Im not impressed with the Gabe Kabler physique. Guys that hit for power in the PCL don't really impress me. I want to see other things (def >1.4 wRC+). 30% k rate would give me some serious hesitation. Gonzales at least can help them right away (possibly)...

Thanks for the advice, but I just figured someone as smart as you would do better. Thanks again.

It is a strange trade, but we got a guy with probably inflated numbers due to hitting in the PCL vs. a pitcher that is talented (despite injuries). Don't think it's really a strong win either way; Mike Hessman vs. Jamie Garcia ish.
