Yeah, it's sorta past the point of that. If we were going to go for young pitching we'd probably have to go for guys who are almost at the MLB like ___(any Cards prospect here), Sonny Gray, Zack Wheeler, just off the top of my head.
A.) Was Carreno really that bad? I like the kid. B.) Pillar would get pushed if Rajai/Boni/both got injured, as a 4th OF, so that Gose could keep getting every day ABs. C.) Kid can't take a walk and I'm not sure on his glove.
Is there not that ridiculous view that division trading is a complete and utter no-go?
Tampa would have what we want if we traded all our assets.
Also, 1000 posts! GO BLUE JAYS
What Gio-level young controllable pitchers would there be that would be traded? Price is neither controllable (to an extent) nor would he be traded to us and I can't even think of anyone else.
I would really rather Smith. Nice hit tool. Ball is way too big and lanky to be a hitter and I don't like him more than anyone else as a pitcher.
I don't want Shipley at all but if, by some stroke of hell (knowing this team.. it'll happen) all of the guys I'd rather are taken, I wouldn't hate him as a last resort.
I'm still smarting from just missing Giolito last year. Ugh. And I wanted Gallo, too.
What exactly is Burns' ceiling? 2nd division starter? He's such a weird case.
Loving the report on Lopes, though, he's one of my favorite prospects, been riding that bandwagon for a WHILE. If Datdude-lite is his ceiling.. damn lol.
