Nearly every player in the organization was brought in by falvey...... And he's the problem?
It's the owners, and their budget cuts. I don't understand how this is difficult?
23 million for 100 games, 85 or so at catcher is a lot of money. I mean, if they are going to invest like sixty more million in the team next year, sure?
He's never caught close to 2/3 of the games.
I understand why people want to sign him, but I also don't think people realize how few games he plays in a year.
I have zero confidence in HS pitchers who can't stay healthy or throw strikes (or, even, in general, until they are very good in AA or above), so I'd do it.....For a number 3/4 that just pitches 5-7 innings, yes, yes I would.
I doubt SEA is looking for a catcher, but maybe they want Raleigh at DH?
Maybe they are? I think you could go Larnach, Jeffers, Lewis (not sure they trust him over Naylor)....maybe if you take money back? I don't know....I htinnk you have to give up a prospect in this deal. I'd do:
Jeffers, Larnach, Hill or Soto for Hancock. I'd sub in EMrod if they want him instead .
Seattle has a SP in the minors ready to go.......
I'm still trading jeffers. Don't care if they win every game between now and the deadline. I get that isn't popular, but this is not a WS team.
I'd happily trade with TB again for a SP......Ryan and Bradley.....
?
Elmer is a top 100 prospect, and Volpe a former starting SS. You think you can get Elmer (# 55 overall on FG) and Volpe for Jeffers and a HS pitcher that is either hurt or can't throw a strike (both in A ball?). Or are you throwing in a just a guy prospect from MN?
