    they wouldn't. And the Rockies wouldn't trade Story. Both teams are in the same boat :-)
  2. jimmer
    yeah, it's been darn slow. Or it was. Now that I said it, seems it's better with this post right now.
  3. jimmer
    Rockies leadership is clueless. After the stunt they pulled with their W Series tickets, they showed they also don;t care much about their fans. That may extend to keeping Tulo just to make money.

    I wonder if Orlando Arcia would be available, though not sure why the Brewes would trade him. BTW, is anyone else having a REALLY hard time with this site right now?
  5. jimmer
    I doubt Story sticks at shortstop,I think he'll be a 2B in the majors, regardless of the team he plays for. Nice thought though.
  6. jimmer
    They could still use a decent start upgrade. Kazmir is better than any starter on our team.
  7. jimmer
    Twins would deserve a beating if they moved Dozier off 2B.

    Trevor Story, 22 years old, in AAA. .898 OPS. Baez is trade bait. He has no future on that team. Too much young IF talent there.

    Don't have to sell me on Kepler. I'm buying.

    Sporting News last month had Berrios over Severino and Judge wasn't near them. Kiley at Fangraphs had Berrios over Severino to start the year (haven't seen the update yet) with Judge far away from them. I agree.

    I meant the Rockies have a quality 2B (Story) in their system (if DJ doesn't work out).And the CUbs have Russell.
  12. jimmer
    I'd take Berrios over Severino 10 out of 10 times.
  13. jimmer
    Cubs have a quality 2B in their minor league system and the Cubs have a quality SS ready to take over for Castro

    I'm a Rockies fan, live close to Coloarado and I disagree. I also don't blame the player for injuries. He's a very good player in all aspects including intangibles.
  15. jimmer
    Not to mention what they could get for Cargo along with Gray, Butler, Story. And they would still have Arenado and DJ. They need to trade Cargo and Tulo this year if they go for the rebuilding and they are a mess, so they should be rebuilding.
  16. jimmer
    My point was, many of the supposed experts believe money will have to move if they get cost controlled quality prospects (and Berrios qualifies at a position of need). I honestly don't care about the money, don't think the Twins should either, nor think it should be an obstacle in either trade scenario. So, whatever. You may be right, truthfully you almost always are IMO, and that's fine with me.

    The best things about The best things about it:We get a stud player till he's almost 36 (not almost 40) and it's a trade that would actually work for both sides.
  18. jimmer
    exactly, and then I'd turn around and trade Cargo, Blackmon and Hawkins too. Have their 2B and 3B be the face of the team
  19. jimmer
    Brock is open minded and actually thinks about opposing ideas as opposed to worrying more about winning an argument. That's what good debaters do. It's about the truth. He may not think it's a good idea still, but seems he is at least thinking it may not be so bad. That's a good thing.

    And then the Mets pitched him to the tune of having the most innings pitched in the league the first year they got him. How he was used by them might have contributed to his demise.
  21. jimmer
    FOR the record, I was never in the camp that said we should walk away from such a deal :-) And obviously I disagree about the money. I've seen Tulo trade scenarios at Fangraphs and other sites during chats that had Rockies getting similar deals and eating some money. MLB Network has said similar things. Berrios is Sporting News #17 prospect in all of baseball as of last month and they need pitchers like him. I wish I could say we'll see, but we aren't getting Tulo anyway.
  22. jimmer
    Berrios is a high quality MLB ready prospect . Polanco is a MLB prospect. They would be getting 18+ year+ cost controlled years while giving up a guy owed 98M over the next 5 years. They are going to have to have to eat some cash in practically any trade where they get quality prospects
  23. jimmer
    If we gave up Berrios (and I'm with you 100% on Berrios), I'd prefer to give up Walker as well. In fact, I'd prefer to give up Walker anyway. If we lost Berrios instead of Gibson, though, I believe the Rockies would eat more of Tulo's contract. Any way you look at it, it's gonna hurt some to get Tulo. You don't get a guy like Tulo for nobody you'd mind losing.
  24. jimmer
    and you know what, the Rockies may actually prefer Berrios in your trade scenario. I know if I was the Rockies I would. Higher potential, much younger, more cost control. And if we switched out Gibson for Berrios in your trade offer for Tulo, I'd still do it in a heartbeat (and I love Berrios).
  25. jimmer
    Right now, Gibson is sporting a 1.3 WAR. I read earlier that one poster believes Gibson is better than Radke ever was. I think same are over-valuing what we have in Gibson. I get your argument Brock and hope you are right about him continuing improvement, but I think at this point, his absolute ceiling is a 2.5-3.0 WAR pitcher.
