I'm not sure which side of the deal I like more. From a win now standpoint it looks good for Silvergun. EE is probably a top 10 bat. He may start declining soon though. Speedy got 2 huge upside prospects. If even one of them hit their ceiling I think it would be a win for Speedy. And Jacob deGrom is the real treasure in this deal, star in the making.
I also gave up Burch Smith.
North gave up Yu Darvish, Kyle Gibson, Sean Nolin, MiLB #93, Maikel Franco, David Holmberg, MiLB #113. But he got Prince Fielder, Anthony Rizzo, Danny Duffy, Burch Smith.
Denard Span is available for cheap. He's better them a lot of 3rd/4th OFers. I need room.
s*** Smear is supplying me with SV's at a good ERA.
It was Jackie Bradley Jr. and Jimmy Nelson both of which I planned on dropping.
But Jimmy Nelson is looking quite good at the moment.
On another note..
Anyone looking for a good 3rd/4th Outfielder? I have Hamilton coming off the DL next week, and I'd be willing to trade Denard Span to anyone who will offer something. He started slow, but has picked up it quite a bit and has played good over the past month.
