Top Offer: Top 5 prospect+ top 25 prospect

 

There are probably only 3-5 teams that have two assets like this and would be interested.

My first guess was z3r0s but he said he was out.

BTS going half-measures with his rebuild?

Dinger flipping prospects already?

 

Possibly TCA if we think Dansby + 2nd piece (Martes?) fits the description.

Odds of me moving anything of substance for a pitcher when Matt Duffy, Luis Valbuena, and Cesar Hernandez will be starters for me couldn't get much closer to 0.

s***, well who else is it then? Specifically I'm wondering because I believe I was the previous high offer.

 

Let's just air this all out as a fully disclosed public auction

 

And then we shame the lead offer into pulling it back

 

And then I get Quintana and his consistent production, low 3's ERA

4 Alex Reyes STL SP (SpeedyGose)

7 Dansby Swanson ATL SS (TCA)

9 Victor Robles WAS OF (TRM)

11 Eloy Jimenez CHC OF (KingKat)

13 Nick Senzel CIN 3B (z3r0s)

14 Lucas Giolito CHW SP (z3r0s)

 

Modified List removing Bellinger (jays_fever owns him), Moncado, Benintendi, and mine and Dinger's prospects.

 

TRM doesn't have a 2nd top-25 prospect, so he's out.

Call me crazy, but I think we can eliminate Bellinger too.

 

I'm assuming jays_fever owns him?

Alex Reyes might make sense as the top 5 guy

 

I'm calling Reyes + Brinson or Giolito + Senzel.

 

But if z3r0s wouldn't move Senzel alone for Lester, it's probably not him.

So it's probably Reyes+Brinson or Dansby+Martes

 

Although, TJS takes Reyes well out of the top 5 prospects IMO. But Brinson is better than top 25.

And Dansby isn't a top 5 fantasy prospect IMO and Martes isn't top 25.

 

WHO KNOWS.

z3r0s said he couldn't match top offer. Unless you think z3r0s is a liar?

I assumed z3r0s too. I'm bothered that you didn't include me. I had the message all written up before deciding against.

If you own Reyes you're 100% still calling him a top 5 prospect but realistically where does he fall if this news breaks a month earlier?

 

Probably still 10-15?

IMO every healthy #1 upside arm leapfrogs him, which means he slots in probably @ 21 behind Anderson Espinoza for me.

 

I think you can argue for him even being worse

 

I think in the most optimistic ranking you put him after Glasnow and Giolito, so 15th overall. You're talking comparable ceilings but Glasnow and Giolito's warts aren't as big as fresh TJS.

25-35 range. I probably wouldn't have put him Top 5 anyway due to pitcher risk and command.

 

I think when you're striking out guys at that rate, the command issues worry you less. Just look at Lance McCullers, who coincidentally is also another guy not far from TJS.

I got Jose Fernandez when it was announced he needed TJS. Sometimes it is the only way for us also rans to get a top end pitcher. But unlike JoFer I suppose we can't treat Reyes as a top end pitcher.

If I'm floating around .500 at the all-star break, there will be a Sale auction, and it will be spectacular.

 

Fake news.
