Makes him Curious George lol

[G-Snarls]

I might want to keep Semien....

[Spanky99]

Hahaha... Vlad kills me!

[metafour]

Honestly probably not. A little more control is nice. But when I think of trading 2 elite prospects I would have preferred more of an ace type with an elite K rate. And would have added even more to land that type if available. I think the price was steep for Berriors not that I don’t like him. Clearly the Jays front office really really likes him.

 

But it's not "two elite prospects". It's at best ONE elite prospect. And that one prospect is currently hitting with a .102 ISO and .383 SLG with serious defensive question marks, so his own status as an "elite" prospect is teetering on dangerous territory.

 

We actually traded away two prospects who's tools/status have declined this season. They both fell on our own organizational rankings. This is EXACTLY what you want to see a team with a stacked minor league system do: you protect your most promising prospects and deal from the guys who you are less certain about.

[DigitalRock]

Gurriel with the pinball hit.

[Inklink]

lmao they're locking down Vladdy

Not to mention we traded from a position of strength.

[Spanky99]

Hahaha... I thought the same thing when I read that.

[Jonn]

I might want to keep Semien....

 

I think we all do. But I feel a team will offer him a Shortstop job in the off-season to lure him away.
