Rios was anticipated to be a 5 tool superstar. Carpenter and McGowan were both highly anticipated also.
But given bloodlines, age, and performance, Vladdy might fall into F.
Seeing interest in J.A. Happ, not so much Estrada
Don't want roster garbage.... players under 27 with upside or picks, only
Auction starts now - what you got?
Might as well add my two cents
As I stated at the time, I wasn't in favour of the Tulo trade, but was not strongly so. Moving 3 promising pitching prospects (and one a potential front line starter) in order to replace Reyes with Tulo was a very poor move value wise. As I posted back then, chances were (and coming true now) is at least one of those pitching prospects would become an above average MLB starter.
I get the flags fly forever argument which is why the opposition at the time was muted, but many of us knew this trade would bite us hard in the ass long term.
Heavy interest in EE and Cutch. Going through several offers, might take a few days to get back to the offerees. If you want to win the prize(s), sweeten your offer now.
