Given that McKinney really isn't very interesting, we would have been way better off with a young arm high upside arm + interesting reliever combination if the opportunity was there. LF prospect without a carrying tool who has been traded multiple times and tumbling down to the back end of their prospect ranking vs SP prospect with high upside thought to be one of their bigger risers - not even close for me.
There was one person suggesting Gallegos as a third piece but good try.
Also since you brought up the proposal, remember how you said it wasn't nearly enough, but it turned out to be much more than the actual return? Good times
Well the rest of the group voted me Nicest Poster (tied with P2F) so if I'm insulting you it's probably because you're a bit of a softy.
Also I'm suggesting a ceiling, not an expectation if that makes you feel better. Not sure why anyone would be up in arms over suggesting bat first utility ceiling for Biggio. Certainly better than analyzing anyone over 10 pitches.
Feels like a safe and unexciting return unless they have reason to really believe Drury has break out upside remaining in his bat.
I get that we weren't going to pull a top prospect, but it's tough to not come away with any of those high upside arms who could really come back to salt their onions down the line.
Lol yeah Atlanta definitely takes that one. What I should have said is that the Yankees have the most interesting group of SP prospects who aren't already household names - the type of guys we're probably looking at for a Happ rental
Not sure what you're hoping for but I doubt we would be getting one of their current top prospects If Drury is included. Contreras and Garcia are likely the two most intriguing young SP prospects that aren't currently at the top of their list. P2F pointed out last night that there's a belief among scouts that Contreras will soon be top 5 in their strong system.
Gallegos would step right into our pen and has real K potential.
I thought about adding another solid prospect but let's not pretend Maile has much value.
