It's possible for someone to be top prospect and be s***** at the same time. That's kind of what player development is - closing the delta between present skills and tool based ceiling.

 

I don't know how you can look at his minor league peripherals and say that they aren't s*****. He walked like 5.0/9 in the minors and his K rate was pretty crummy for a prospect that throws 97. It was poo.

 

Chi-Chi Gonzalez was also a high raked prospect but his peripherals wwere s*** as well. Sanchez isn't a unique case.

Dude, you continue to dream, with crazy absurd trade offers, this isn't a video game?

That's absurd, and unbelievable.

 

My post about your silly dreams is just as tight. FA, is a crap shoot, and I wish you and everyone run with their lifestyle, having family and kids are massive here!! Sorry, I'm out, TRUTH BOMB!!!

 

I don't know what this means? Especially in consideration.

 

Go Away!

 

Yer Dumn!!!

 

It'll never match the budget.

 

Yet your numbers are silly.

 

Yer dumn.

 

Hnnngghhh....

 

 

Pure Spanky at his finest.

If the Marlins end up trading Ozuna (their young CF who they don't get along with), they would have a hole to fill in CF. There is also talk of them possibly listening on trade offers for Fernandez (why I have no f***ing idea, but they would look for more young controllable talent in return). Not sure if the Jays have the assets to make a play here but the thought of Fernandez in our rotation next to Stroman is kind of fap worthy. Dangling Sanchez & Pompey is probably a start but maybe more of an AA move than a Shapiro move? Fernandez doesn't come without risk but has ace written all over him.

Most would say acquiring Donaldson, Price, or Tulowitzky would begin with Stroman too. Maybe we're not as stupid as them.

I'm not certain that parting with a ton of prospect capital for a Boras client is the best use of our assets right now, but if the price is right then go for it.

Donaldson absolutely, but definitely not the other two.

fair enough, just saying deals can get done without giving up our best chip.

I think you would agree that the package given for Donaldson would be an exception, not the rule here.

I'm not saying it was a bad trade for the Jays, obviously, but if/when Barretto is playing like Carlos Correia with 6 years of control come 2017, lets revisit our judgement of the package then.

Even if that happens, the Donaldson trade was still excellent

Would you guys feel comfortable with giving up Sanchez for Chavez

 

Hell no. Why would we even consider that?

Your saying that you wouldn't consider trading a relief pitcher with s*** peripherals for an above average starter?
