Jaime Garcia, still a Brave.

Just trotted out to RF during #Braves BP here at Dodger Stadium.

McAlpin now reporting that Garcia just pulled his hammy doing some light trotting.

Some sources indicating the return is Blankenhorn.

So in the end, it's Dykstra, Gant and Ellis for whatever Garcia gets us.

All speculation, but rumor around Twins’ insiders is Braves possibly will get 3B Travis Blankenhorn, their 7th best prospect, for Garcia

Exactly what I was hoping the Braves would avoid by packaging several parts together.

I guess there wasn't a good match with anyone will to give up someone decent.

What's his ranking?

Fangraphs has him at a FV of 40.

Here's Blankenthorn's milb page: http://www.milb.com/player/index.jsp?player_id=663905#/career/R/hitting/2017/ALL

MLB has him as Twins' 7th-best prospect. Sickels has him 8th. LHH hitter with power potential. MLB has him at 50 FV overall.

If not they should've just kept him instead of getting crap!

Mlb has everyone with 2 functioning legs as a FV 50.

They had 65 of them in the 2017 draft alone.

Meh, it's pretty inconsequential.

Blanketderp is fine. I just wish they could have figured out a way to package a few parts together to get a legit guy.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Hugh freeze resigning among escort scandal has to be shooting up the list

Yeah, I know you're enjoying that

 

[NinersSBChamps]

What's his ranking?

Does it matter? By completion of the trade he will be a better player than Yoan Moncada.

So a worse version of Rio Ruiz?
