Farewell to Wood, Peraza, Jimmy Johns, and Avilans.

[yeezus]

Wood has a better WAR than Zimmerman, Bumgarner, or Lester this season.

Which WAR are you using? All of them are easily out-WARing him according to Fangraphs.

I simply do not understand the need to rush trading Wood. Wood for Olivera is bad, but it can be rationalized and argued, I suppose. Once you move into trading Peraza and Chris Johnson is not a part of this, then it falls on its face.

That's a good point. IF Cjoh was included with his contract for them to eat, I'm down. We have A LOT of money going forward.

@kileymcd Know you wrote a lot on Olivera this winter and that the trade isn't finalized, but any initial thoughts on Braves-Dodgers swap?

@enasti30 I'll need to see all the names first but getting Olivera for multiple years at that price is better than most prospects

impossibru!!

He just got traded so it's mainly bravesitis.

I've wanted to trade Wood before this deal... and I still hate this deal... so no, that's not the case, but thanks

 

[bravesnumberone]

Again, I LOVE Alex Wood. But, I think we have options and I'm incredibly high on Wisler.

Good, young, cheap, controllable lefties don't grow on trees.

 

[yeezus]

Heyward has been at the epicenter of St. Louis' success. Let's not try to discount the poor guy's contributions for the sake of argument.

I never said that we 'lost the deal' if the Cardinals won the World Series, just that they accomplished exactly what they set out to do if they win it.

I didn't discount his contributions in the least.

 

[zbhargrove]

Good talk... I'm also the only person in the world who shares this view... I know.

 

[Dalyn]

You are likely right -- but I'm still holding out for more.

This deal unbelievably favors the Dodgers as it currently stands.

It really does. No way around it.

[zbhargrove]

I don't like the deal at all... so you're just being a douche just to be a douche... congrats.

Read some discussion on this trade from an unbiased source, posters going back and forth on MinorLeagueball.com. Pretty much when they saw what we'd be giving up initially, they thought for sure we'd be getting Seager or Urias back from the Dodgers, or else we be getting hosed.

Just in case anybody was wondering. Wood is 28th in FIP since the start of 2014. He's also 24 and under control through 2019. That's a lot to give up. But I guess since he's going to have TJ within 2 years again it doesn't matter.

 

[yeezus]

Also Heyward has been the Cards best player this year, last I checked

Lance Lynn has a higher WAR, FWIW.

 

[Hawk]

I didn't discount his contributions in the least.

So then admit he's one of the primary reasons why St. Louis is coasting toward the division.

ESPN. I'm not a fan of FanGraph's interface. ESPN has Wood at 2.1, Zimmerman at 1.9, Bumgarner at 1.9, and Lester at 1.8

 

[bravesnumberone]

Personally, I think Bill Shanks is involved in these talks. Trying to get Hart to hold out for acquiring Greinke and signing him long-term.

Was I talking about yo specfically?

 

[yeezus]

...I've never not said that. He absolutely is. They're totally content with the deal IF they win - I've said that.

 

[Hawk]

...I've never not said that. He absolutely is. They're totally content with the deal IF they win - I've said that.

Then why did you say say my comment about St. Louis winning the deal by winning it all 'made little sense'?
