The average net value is around $5 million for a second round pick and $1.3 million for a third round pick, circa 2013. https://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2013/6/25/4457048/2013-mlb-draft-how-valuable-are-draft-picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not advocating for the move. I was simply pointing out the fallacy in GSUeagles's statement that a prospective team would be overpaying for an average starter. They would in fact almost surely be acquiring above average production for well under what should be market value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's to the point now where even a tanking team is better off front loading decent veterans like a Neil Walker or Jonathan Lucroy on a 2 year + club option type deal with the plan of trading them halfway through. You might be able to get those guys with a $5-8M salary in year 2 and have a club option after. That's valuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom cody Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Walker's a solid player. It's spring so guys might get a bit more desperate, don't know if solid guys like Walker will go for minor league deals though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMouse07 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 The A's should really make a one year move on one of the pitchers. Offer them something with a player option and a cheap opt out for a second year. Gives those pitchers a chance to rebuild some value pitching in Oakland. Plus the A's payroll is a joke at this point. I love the youth movement but you gotta spend somewhere. Surprised we haven't tried to give Luc a decent offer for the short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyguy1609 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that Keon Broxton is drawing more trade interest from teams than Domingo Santana. Santana's name has been mentioned often as a potential trade piece, especially after the Brewers traded for Christian Yelich and signed Lorenzo Cain. However, Haudricourt hears that Broxton is the one clubs are asking about more because he's cheaper, has speed, can play center field and has an option remaining. Broxton is a career .226/.317/.422 hitter but was a 20/20 player last season, and his power/speed combo would make him interesting again in fantasy if he's dealt somewhere where he has an easier path to playing time.

tom cody Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Broxton's a very good speedster, got to think he'll have some interest around the league. I do expect both him and Santana to command interest around the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
