Don't kid yourself into thinking we're better off facing a good pitcher like Kazmir in the playoffs.

420seriouscat69 · « **Reply #40778 on:** July 23, 2015, 12:51:00 PM »

Well, yeah, but I was trying to lift the room back up. Geez.

Padre's are officially sellers. Looking to sell Shields, Justin Upton, and possibly Cashner.

Also looks like Royals and Jays are going after Cueto pretty hard.

420seriouscat69 · « **Reply #40782 on:** July 23, 2015, 01:14:25 PM »

When's the deadline? July 31st?

If Mengden and Nottingham were all that Houston had to give up for half a season of Kazmir, then I am all in on trading for a rental.

Mengden has struggled in high-A and is already 22, while Nottingham is raking, he is still in Low-A

Lol. Royals won't trade their future all star for a rental.

Bubba is going to be a nice every day outfielder for the Royals here in a couple years. Don't know why you'd want someone to take him off our hands.

Yeah, I was just about to post that we should see what Billy Beane will give us for him.

A little comparison on the potentially available top end starters. If I forgot one, let me know, I'll add him.

Price: 3.5 WAR, 2.78 FIP // 14.1 WAR, 2.86 FIP (0.5 Years, $9.9M)
Cueto: 2.7 WAR, 3.16 FIP // 8.0 WAR, 3.34 (0.5 Years, $5M)
Kazmir: 2.2 WAR, 3.09 FIP // 7.9 WAR, 3.34 FIP (0.5 Years $5.5M) -- Astros
Samardizja: 2.2 WAR, 3.60 FIP // 9.3 WAR, 3.54 FIP (0.5 years, $4.5M)

Hamels: 2.3 WAR, 3.37 FIP // 11.0 WAR, 3.21 FIP (3.5 Years ~$85M)

I was just going off the tweet: "Best prospect". Also, how long will we have Escobar for? I mean, we've already got a top 5 SS. If Mondesi makes the transition to 2b, then it makes total sense to keep him on.

420seriouscat69 · « **Reply #40795 on:** July 23, 2015, 01:55:32 PM »

Maybe we can trick them and they will think John Lamb is our best prospect.

Why wouldn't he be able to play 2nd?

420seriouscat69 · « **Reply #40798 on:** July 23, 2015, 02:03:42 PM »

That's what I'm saying, that would make sense. However, Infante is signed on until 2019, so something is going to have to give soon.

WildcatNkilt · « **Reply #40799 on:** July 23, 2015, 02:06:44 PM »

He would most definitely play 2nd base.
