Can Pompey guy pitch?

[Angrioter]

Daniel Barbarisi

Kazmir is out of the game for the A's. Evan Scribner pitching. No explanation as yet. Big break for the Yankees.

 

 

Goodbye Pompey?

Wow. Interesting.

Left triceps tightness for Kazmir

Left tricep tightness for Kazmir, apparently.

Kazmir + left tricep tightness >> Dickey

[Swervin81]

I'll float an interesting name in here.

 

Tyson Ross

 

Got 2 years of control left after this year, and his peripherals have been constantly really good for the last 3 years. The Padres are gonna be seelers with how this experiment has totally s*** the bed, so I can see something there. Plus, he'd be far cheaper than the big name targets. Perhaps nab him and Cashner in a package?

[Angrioter]

Jays offensive + = 120 win games

[Boxcar]

Jays offensive + = 120 win games

 

Ugh the Indians rotation is filthy.

I was just thinking Ross would be a good fit but might require a big return. What about something like:

 

Jays get: Ross, Kimbrel, and Benoit

 

Padres get: Hutchison, Norris and Castro

 

Sanchez slots into the rotation when he gets back.

 

Buehrle

Ross

Estrada

Dickey/Doubront

Sanchez

 

Kimbrel

Benoit

Osuna

Delabar

Cecil

Hendriks

Loup

[Abomination]

Iwakuma might be an interesting target. Lowish salary, and will have only made a few starts by the trade deadline after being out most of the year. FA at end of the year I believe, and Seattle looks like they're going to be out of it. I'd have to think the price could be pretty reasonable.

Doesn't help enough to justify the cost, I like the return though. Abomination mentioned Iwakuma who I've always liked as well, would cost less than Ross and help just as much if healthy. Probably costs you Pentecost for Iwakuma though.

That rotation is turrrible

[strochez]

That rotation is turrrible

 

Lol true but it's better than with Hutch who will either implode or give you 7 innings of 1 run ball. Ross is at least somewhat consistent and adding Kimbrel would be huge.

 

Also if they did this trade there would be another trade after for a Cueto, Kazmir type.

[DuckDuckGose]

What would you guys think of Ross and Kemp for Reyes? Is Kemp's deal that bad now?

OH GOD PLEASE NO

Gross, Matt Kemp is horrible.

[DuckDuckGose]

Kemp being terrible is kind if the point though. Jays take that awful contact to get Ross who is pretty good..

[GD]

"Kemp is still good and we really need Ross

The Rogers Centre will fix him, he'll see more fastballs in our lineup"

 

-Northof49 on -0.8 fWAR Matt Kemp

It's too bad, it's not worth it.

He makes good points. Only way we can take on Kemp's contact is to move out money.

There is no reason to take on Matt Kemp's salary. none.

[DuckDuckGose]

Jays get: Ross, Kimbrel, and Kemp

 

Padres get: Reyes, Boyd, DJ Davis, B specs

Making the playoffs is worth Kemp's contract. Ross would be a bonus.

I don't think it is. It cripples our salary for the years beyond Reyes' contract. If you take out the rest of the pieces besides Reyes that we'd be giving up it gets a little better. Maybe include Renfroe too.

[Abomination]

I wonder if the Dodgers would do Rollins and Ethier for Reyes?

It doesn't have to cripple payroll. Outside of Donaldson, Bautista and Martin all the big contacts will be off the books. The lineup will have Stroman, Osuna, 2+ more young arms, Travis, Pompey/Alford/Vlad, among others still in their arb years. IMO if they can clear short-term money they'll be fine in the long run.
