Yeah but I already got the best parts of that line. It would be a dream if he got traded to the Yankees, for sure.

 

My point was that those numbers aren't really impressive for a guy playing at his peak. He's not even been more valuable than CJ Cron.

I think overall it's a pretty fair conversion.

 

Solid 30 year old = Top 50 prospect + pick

 

Belt is the the exact type of player I was looking for when I made my post. Just a solid older player to help my offense.

He is ideal in this format as an OBP supplement. That first is likely in the 15-20 range anyway so yeah, I think it’s sensible for you to push in some chips as a strong contender to get Tim Anderson out of your lineup.

Top 40 prospect and a 1st is clearance price? You must really love Belt.

 

It's not a very valuable first. And the prospect is a PITCHER!

Good pitchers usually start as good pitching prospects, so they can't all break. Not every good pitcher is Corey Kluber or Jacob DeGrom who totally came out of nowhere to become aces over night.

My fact-based analysis of current top aces and whether they were notable prospects or not:

 

Verlander - I'm too young to remember but pretty sure he was a top prospect

Sale - Top prospect

Scherzer - Elite prospect

Kluber - NP

Severino - Top 20 prospect

DeGrom - Not a notable prospect

Cole - Elite prospect

Nola - Top 50 prospect

Bauer - Elite prospect

Snell - Top 20 Prospect

Greinke - Elite prospect

Paxton - Top 50

Corbin - Mid-rotation prospect/backend Top 100 type

Berrios - Top 20 prospect

Morton - Lol f***ing silvergun always

Manaea - Top 50 prospect

Carrasco - Top 50-100 prospect, post-hyper

Folty - Backend top 100 guy, stuff/no command type

Skaggs - Top 20 prospect

Strasburg - elite prospect

Kershaw - elite prospect

Syndergaard - elite prospect

McCullers - Top 100 prospect

Buehler - Elite prospect

Ohtani - elite prospect

David Price - Borderline #1 overall prospect

 

Really most of the top fantasy pitchers were good prospects at some point with 3-4 exceptions.

If Ross Stripling is good this time next year I'll be happy to put him on the Non-Prospects Who Panned Out list. Not ready to buy in.

There are dudes on that list who are obviously not aces, I was just running through the current Yahoo Top 25 and then a couple from the next page who are ace-y.

Verlander was an elite prospect

 

I have this vague memory of Bonderman being their next big ace in the making, and then uberprospect Verlander burst onto the scene and quickly overtook him.

I've been spraying around offers including these players, trying to do a 2 for 1, so I figure I'll just post the names here publicly and if anyone is really hot for them they can make an offer.

 

Cionel Perez

Pablo Lopez

Corey Dickerson

Jose Martinez

Jorge Polanco

 

Prices vary a lot. Main focus is upgrading my MLB team.

Perez and Lopez nuked the minors this year and they both have the stuff to back it up - very attractive young arms.

If I provide you with an upgrade anywhere, let me know. I'd be interested.

 

Quick podcast recording next week?

Maybe we will put a pin in it for the weekend and you can reaffirm your decision on Monday?

 

Don't be too hasty here.

O.K I just really enjoyed the all star break and was tempted to make the break permanent but you're right that I'm probably overreacting to a busy period in my work and life. I'm sitting in a camp chair drinking beer and using mobile data right now and it doesn't seem so pressing a concern anymore.

Sorry, guys. I've tried to keep a full roster all season but it may get a little ugly down the stretch. Just wanted to give a heads up.

 

Trading Pham to Laika.

I’m glad I don’t live in a world where a 30 year old 4th OF can become a .400 wOBA beast overnight and keep all his gains.

Quick question, someone is offering me Mookie Betts for Vlad Jr in another league. Should I do it?!
