They would be hooked for his salary. For Fatcow's proposal to work it'd probably be something like
Romero + Arencibia + prospect + Romero's salary for Ackley + Shoppach + low level prospect (maybe Marder would work?)
And the 2nd overall pick most certainly won't be worth as much in a couple of years as it is now, is the point I'm making, hence, it'd be beneficial to sign with us now.
That would be insane if he were asking for more than that. It's so stupid that these kids don't just take the huge amount of money and take classes in the offseason.
There wasn't anything wrong and generally Deadpool a.) backs up his posts and b.) hates JPA. Seriously, all of his posts in the last 20 minutes have been anti-JPA lol.

Shoppach or Hernandez are both probably better than JPA.
I think I'd actually rather Hech at 2B in that scenario as a good deal of Reyes' value comes from the positional adjustment.

EE cleanup would be better but nice!
I like Brentz more, but we need Tellez more. I would be thrilled with either, but personally, I prefer Brentz. I'd do f***ing cartwheels if we signed one though.
You appear to be enamored with Mr. McGee lol
Unfortunately, this appears to be gaining traction.
