BTS Community Moderator Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 I do have super stud Brandon Crawford entrenched at SS whom no one is interested in trading for. Makes sense. What if Crawford actually suxxxx though?
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 I do have super stud Brandon Crawford entrenched at SS whom no one is interested in trading for. Makes sense. Ok, I'm finally ready to admit I like Brandon Crawford. Take my money.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 I do have super stud Brandon Crawford entrenched at SS whom no one is interested in trading for. Makes sense. I think a lot of people are interested but since you value him at least highly as any of us, it's kind of a moot point.
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Ok, I'm finally ready to admit I like Brandon Crawford. Take my money. No, trade him to me plz.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 The tarde has no winner yet. Either guy could fall off a cliff next year and it wouldn't be surprising at all. I'll agree to this. Davis strikes out like it's his job and relies on Adderall to be good at baseball; Cano is old and plays in a s***** park. Neither is an elite asset moving forward IMO, but I wouldn't undo that trade if I had the option.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 It's not just a slow start. Through 440 PA this year his PD stats are much worse than his career. He's played league a league average 2B through a pretty large sample size. He's already been an above average-hitting 2B this year with the trajectory trending in the right direction. I'm satisfied. Contextually, that trade worked out well for both our rosters.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 I think a lot of people are interested but since you value him at least highly as any of us, it's kind of a moot point. FWIW I don't really think I'm being unreasonable in wanting a good haul for a 130 wRC+ SS with no obvious red flags.

Nobody ever wants to pay the troll toll for a guy you picked up as a free agent this season, it's just the way it goes. It's gotten to the point where you should have no trouble getting a Top 50 prospect for him, though.
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Someone just has to ante up with Kohl Stewart or Tyler Kolek.

For example, I asked for Alex Reyes in response to an inquiry and that was apparently a conversation stopper.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Someone just has to ante up with Kohl Stewart or Tyler Kolek. Solid trolljob. Michael Kopech is legit better than both those guys, tho.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 I didn't pick him up as a FA. He was one of my keepers. Nice! Very prescient.
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Solid trolljob. Michael Kopech is legit better than both those guys, tho. I'd probably give up Francellis Montas and Refsnyder. Boxy is too shrewd though.
Laika Community Moderator Posted August 5, 2015 Author Posted August 5, 2015 Boxy, I'll trade for Crawford in the offseason. Just don't need him right now with Zobrist plugging the hole.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 I'd probably give up Francellis Montas and Refsnyder. Boxy is too shrewd though. Never heard of that first guy, but we all know Boxy adores Big Ref.
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Never heard of that first guy, but we all know Boxy adores Big Ref. Offered Ref straight up in like May and Boxy shot me down with the quickness.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 For example, I asked for Alex Reyes in response to an inquiry and that was apparently a conversation stopper. That's more than I would offer probably, but not unreasonable to ask. Reyes is a monster in the making.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 That's more than I would offer probably, but not unreasonable to ask. Reyes is a monster in the making. Which is why I'd rather trade Correa for, say, Giancarlo Stanton. Also so that I could wriggle my way into mocking Min for basically trading Stanton for old man Holliday and a retired guy.

You'd have Stanton + Crawford and be mediocre for a couple years before realizing that's not a good enough core to compete, then tear it down all over again. It's not like Crawford is 25, either.

I think you're being clouded by your Correa man-crush. But thanks for the hype!
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 It rings hollow coming from me, but I'd be hyping Correa just as much right now if I didn't own him. His numbers speak for themself. I strongly believe he's going to be a Tulo-tier SS.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Plus I want to see you rebuild the right way and have a long, extended moment in the sun, believe it or not.

His numbers speak for themself. I strongly believe he's going to be a Tulo-tier SS. So do I, which is why I'm not embarrassed to consider offering him for one of the best hitters in the game.
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Ugh, I hope the Mariners trade Brad Miller. He's been cleanly above average since getting to the majors, and they keep jerking him around. Why not just play your 25-year old 2-3 win shortstop every day and be done with it?

Because it's a backwards organization with one of the worst GMs in baseball, probably.
TRM Verified Member Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Guys I make an offhand comment about trading Stanton for Correa, got to a meeting for an hour, and come back to two pages worth of discussion and 3 PMs. Relax everyone, it was a joke!
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Because it's a backwards organization with one of the worst GMs in baseball, probably. It's amazing just how thoroughly they ruin every talented prospect in their system. That Kyle Seager became what did is amazing.

On the table if you want it, though. Don't be a pussy.
