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.
A) The Rockies have a s*** farm darn near devoid of interesting pitching prospects
This return is solid for a vet reliever we signed to a dirt cheap deal just a few months ago. No one was ever going to give us a top prospect for him
