You realize that Robertson is a better prospect than Sanchez, yes?

 

Come on, you know that's not true.

Nah, the rumour according to Morisi, is they're trying to move Andrus. Yet, in this circumstance Profar or Odor make sense.

Would anyone here trade Pompey before Sanchez?

 

No

 

I don't trust pitching prospects as much as position player prospects

I'm having the Rays fanbase over tonight so we can get drunk and re-watch games from 2008.

 

So it's going to be you and..... yourself getting drunk and watching 2008 Rays games? :P

Sanchez is #35 and Robertson is #85 on their top 100 prospects.

 

Pompey is #88 and Hoffman is #90 on the list so i guess they are somewhat equivalent.

I am quote sure the Rays don't rely on prospect rankings when they make decisions on value. Just because baseball America or Sickles likes a player doesn't mean they too will like a player at the same value.

you jumped...one off season and you jump back. You'll be begging to party in BTS's parents basement by next year.

 

There is very little to like about this deal from the Rays point of view...but they still will have a good pitching staff.

I like that they are getting out from the Escobar contract. They shouldn't have extended him in the first place but that was Friedman's mistake.

What? Escobar on pace for a 4 win season walks in and says "2 years $13M" any GM that says no should be fired.

 

Anyway the word I'm hearing is that Oakland still might be dangling Zobrist to the Jays.

Joonel's going to do well in Oakland, gap power, great defense beside his buddy Lawrie, yeah, I see decent numbers/value there.

A's next move: Zobrist to Jay for Navarro and Pentecost.

 

Though there may be early concerns if he will or will not stick in the position of catcher, I am still high on Pentecost. Would much rather trade Sanchez than a position player, especially catcher.

I don't think Oakland would take Navarro for free.

Francisco was an above league average hitter for us last year.

 

People forget this because he went from.so hot to so cold

This may have been true, but I don't see that happening again in the future. The league figured him out pretty easily, all you have to do is bounce a breaking ball and it's a guaranteed swing.

What's a year of Zobrist + pick worth from Toronto? It's gotta be more than Sanchez.

I'd rather throw in another prospect or 2 and get a guy like Hamels then a 34 year old who is a FA at the year and should start seeing some decline in his game. I think this club has enough hitting now. Boston is still getting a #1 pitcher. I think we will see a regression in Buerhle this year, and we should target an ace with our prospects.

Fangraphs likes the deal.. Oakland is now projected to be in a dogfight with the Angels, Jays, Rays(won't last), and Indians for wild cards. As for the Rays.. huge question marks regarding the 2015 roster, and it's very likely ownership is not done selling, with Jennings or DeJesus next to go. Heck, it's still possible Longoria gets dealt too.. rumor has it an unnamed NL team (Dodgers?) or teams inquired on him.

 

It's like ownership is blowing up the roster to rebuild to contend when the team is sold and moves to Montreal/Charlotte/wherever in a few years, with no stadium on the horizon in Tampa.

What's your guess on the attendance in Tampa this year? The 2003 franchise low of 13,070 (per game) will almost certainly be shattered after this fire sale.. yes, I know they brought in Asdrubal Cabrera, but his value stinks right now because of his terrible 2B/SS defense.. and who knows whether his bat will rebound.
