For Gobble4Cyyoung.....and whoever else

Tiny by billybeingbilly on Comment 70 comments

Listed below, we have 3 young pitchers and their age 20 season stats.  One became a non-prospect, almost, on his own, worth Yuniesky Betancourt.  The other two are good enough prospects, that said 'non-prospect' was deemed unnecessary by you and DMGM.  Mike Montgomery, Dan Cortes and Danny Duffy.  Gobble (or someone else) explain to me why I should be (A) so excited by the potential of Montgomery and Duffy (so as to make Cortes unnecessary) or (B) how, given that they were all 3 damn near identical pitchers, find any positives in giving up one of these type guys for the worst player in baseball.

 


Player 1 Age 20 High A 8.78 K/9 3.29 BB/9 2.67 K/BB .51 HR/9-------FIP 3.28

Player 2 Age 20 High A 8.67 K/9 3.14 BB/9 2.76 K/BB .54 HR/9-------FIP 3.10

Player 3 Age 20 Low A 7.88 K/9 3.94 BB/9 2.00 K/BB .00 HR/9--------FIP 2.83

 

Cortes

Duffy

Niemann's BR Page

What would it take to pry Jeff Niemann from the Rays? They seem to have a shortage of slots in the starting rotation and Niemann is out of options. Would they take someone like Guiterrez or Duffy? Would we be willing to make that trade? He looks to be a pretty solid bet to be at least a middle of the rotation type pitcher and would be under team control for 6 years. This would also allow Tampa to stock their lower minor league system while only losing a seemingly spare part.

Daniel Cabrera?

Tiny by billybeingbilly on Comment 37 comments

Why not sign Daniel Cabrera?  He was just nontendered by Baltimore.  He throws hard, he is right handed....hmm...I wonder what a  hard throwing right hander with bad performance is worth on the open market...

 

Id much rather take a chance on Cabreras bad performance and hard throwing than throwing away $5 million/yr on Farnsworth.  Even with the Farnsworth deal done, I'd like to take a chance to see what McClure could do with Cabrera and his immense ability.

All-Star Candidates

it seems like half of this board thinks that John Buck is one of the main reasons that we still suck....however, going by win shares, he's been the 3rd most valuable catcher in the AL and SHOULD be a borderline all-star, even though he wont be mentioned.

Brandon Wood

Tiny by billybeingbilly on Comment 44 comments

What is Brandon Woods value to the Angels at this point?  Do you all think they're willing to trade him?  If so, at what cost?  Would Carlos Rosa or Dan Cortes be enough?  What if the Royals threw in a reliever such as a Ron Mahay?  Wood  seems to be blocked in Anaheim so it almost seems like they need to trade him and God knows the Royals desperately need a real shortstop.  Thoughts?

Solution to TPJ problem--Brandon Wood

Tiny by billybeingbilly on Comment 79 comments

The Royals NEED to trade for Brandon Wood.  He's young, blocked in Anaheim.  He'd immediately help to solve the Royals' power/TPJ issues.  Here are his numbers

http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/W/Brandon-Wood-1.shtml

 

He was considered a top 5 prospect after his outstanding 2005 season.  While his stock and numbers have fallen since then, he still profiles out to be a good major league shortstop.  What would it take to acquire him?  Would Rosa or Cortes do it?  Would we have to send them multiple players?  I dont think they have any need for any of our position players.  I wouldnt mind sending them a Mahay or Gobble + Pitching prospect....am i way off base here?   Would Wood be a good idea?
