Pirates have inquired about Adam Lind

[Angrioter]

Alex Hanson

[G-Snarls]

Lind for Polanco or Meadows

[jaysblue]

Why don't the Jays just ask for Gerrit Cole while were at it? I doubt guys like Polanco, Meadows or Hanson would be moved for Lind.

 

Neil Walker would be an interesting name.

[dineke]

I would trade him for Meadows in split-second. I don't care if Lind ends up posting 36 WAR in one season and Meadows ends up as a bust, the whole "what-could-been" thing with guys that slip away or get ninja'd like Syndergaard, Giolito and Meadows bothers the f*** out of me, it really pecks at my OCD.

 

I dunno, I would feel pretty s***** if we gave away a 36 war guy for a bust.

Trading Neil Walker wouldn't be worth the p.r. nightmare for the Pirates. His connections to Pittsburgh run quite deep. Legend has it Walker's father was supposed to be on Roberto Clemente's fatal flight and Clemente told him not to bother. Hanson would actually be a more realistic target given the team context.

[KingKat]

Trade him for Snider back

 

Snider is a free agent.

[TwistedLogic]

Didn't MLBTR post yesterday that Hanson was available for nothing? I haven't slept all night though so I could be fabricating this completely.

[kcjaysfan]

I haven't slept all night

 

You too?

[TwistedLogic]

Shiiiiiiiiit. I'm tired as f*** though.

[Fearthedoc]

Even if they would trade Meadows for Lind (which I don't think they would), Meadows can't be moved til June 2014 right?

By the way I love that quote in your signature.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

I don't think we can afford to give up Lind right now. He's on a decent contract and showed potential last year to actually reach his potential. If the package is good, sure, but he's fairly valuable to us right now.

[JugglingPitches]

I think Lind had a decent year. As long as you keep him away from lefties he's not terrible and I thought made good strides. Definitely would be nice to upgrade him...mind you we have EE that looked great at 1B too so we could also just get a good DH. He is expendable for sure.

It's a hypothesis that could be reality next season.

[jays_fever]

Who knows..maybe next year will be the year Adam Lind is finally benched against all lefties and puts up an OPS over .900 again

[The Cats Ass]

Work stress getting to you bud

 

I'd rather have JPA in a Bluejays uniform catching every single one of Dickey's starts next year than have you around here.

Just ignore him. I only see him on the board when people quote him

[Maine Jays]

Getting rid of Lind means Cabrera could DH full time and we won't have to watch balls that a fourth grade girl could catch falling just out of range of Melky.

[DuckDuckGose]

Neil Walker isn't going anywhere, he's a hometown boy and fan favourite. IMO you could get Cole + Polanco + Meadows but it'd cost you Edwin.

Holy s***, the ignore thing on this site actually works, it's like he doesn't even exist anymore. Way better then the last site.

Yea's its my favourite thing about this site. Remember that DH12 guy? I havent seen him post once since this site opended

[The Cats Ass]

Agree

 

Rasmus LF

Bautista RF

I personally would put Bautista in RF. Not sure on the 2 DH rule.

 

I like a lot of the Pirates prospects, and would trade Lind for the right one in a heart beat.

Does Rasmus extend knowing that he's moving to LF? Also, I'm still not convinced Gose is a starter in this league.

Tyler Glasnow?

[Fearthedoc]

It's a hypothesis that could be reality next season.

 

Remember when we all extrapolated Lawrie's 2.5 WAR in 2011 to 10.0 WAR 2012.

[Caper]

Snider is a free agent.

 

Are you sure?

[mitchf]

Hold on a minute, the name Austin Meadows was brought up in this thread?

 

The guy who the Pirates watched slash .316/.423/.554 in his first 177 bats with the organization?

 

Yeah um, let's not be THOSE kinds of fans.
