That is a nice comparison. Unfortunately, Quintana is probably (well, is ) the better pitcher, though not necessarily by much, and Quintana also fetched a top prospect. However, I think Gonsalves or Romero are easily better bets than Cease, who was the only other pitcher involved in that deal. Cease has yet to reach AA ball. To close the rest of the value gap, maybe you offer to address their present needs -- maybe the Rays like Vargas or Garver, or would take a chance on a relief pitcher like Chargois. Maybe the Twins then ask for a piece in return. Leaving Lewis out of the deal, could you see a fair offer for Archer that consists of: Gordon, Gonsalves or Romero, plus another MLB-ready piece or lower minors pitcher?
