With the value coming back in terms of pitchers returning from injuries, it's okay to take a slight downgrade. Who knows? Gose may provide a lot of value with just defense and baserunning.

Jack Z is stupid but he ain't THAT stupid lol
Austin Hedges is an incredible catching prospect. If Gose can provide 3/4 of the value Rasmus can, which he should be able to, then you do this. Long term success. f*** JPA.
Holy s***, Padres for Austin Hedges would be ermahgerd. I would die.
I have some sweet footage of Aaron Sanchez vs Austin Hedges I took last year. Behind the plate in Lansing. I could TRY and find it wherever the f*** it was.
Padres: Colby for Hedges
Mariners: Colby for *insert elite MIF prospect here*
I wonder how much pity Kalfus will take upon the poor opposing pitchers tonight. Probably not much. I'm predicting 5-3 with 7 homers, 12 RBI, and 5 BB.
Don't the Rays have Jennings? And I know, I was reaching but no one really needs the dude, we should be trading Melky and not Colby atm.
f*** it, the Mariners for Nick Franklin or Brad Miller or someone.

Dodgers, Cardinals (lol), White Sox, Nats, not many teams. A good fit could be Cincy though. Move Choo to LF. Maybe for Bailey?
Rasmus for a nice young pitcher would be great.
Dunno where else to put this, but some nice catcher FAs are gonna be available. McCann, Molina, Salty, Pierzynski, Soto, Suzuki, Ruiz. All nice.
I dunno, why would Mozeliak give up Rasmus for Rzep?
I think Cecil's more valuable to us than anyone else. Great hire on Evans. Hopefully guys like Osuna and Hutch and Sanchez and EVERYONE will stop getting injured so f***ing much.
re: trading Melky
I really like the idea of Rasmus/Gose/Bautista in the OF, although I like the idea of a Melky/Gose/Rasmus with Bautista at 3B and Lawrie at 2B too. If we were dealing Melky I think it'd have to be a nice return. I kind of wonder if we could pull Alfaro from Texas for Melky. That would be incredible. Or maybe Paulino from the Indians or Porcello/Smyly from the Tigers.
