Plus that IF defense would be super legit. Edited January 3, 2020 by MOSteelers56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And right now, our farm system is in the bottom 3rd of the league We still have two high end prospects inside the top 75 on most lists and we also have young MLB ready or proven guys. Especially SP and a potential elite defensive CF. A team like the Rockies (who have shown inability to develop these spots in recent) may actually covet these guys more than a further away prospect with a potential higher ceiling vs. floor... However, yes if a team with a stacked farm system comes in offering their high end guys, I'm not sure it's going to matter what we offer, we probably wouldn't be able to beat it...

Im not sure many of those guys are considered prospects in the farm system anymore (what I was referring to) and I think the Cardinals (and us as fans of theirs) have a MUCH higher opinion of Bader than the rest of the league does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because we have a weaker farm system right now because we've graduated them doesn't mean we don't still have them as quality trade assets. They're just as valuable if not more so to some teams... I think Bader holds value. Remember the Mets supposedly wanted Bader as the return piece on a potential deal for Zach Wheeler. I think teams realize his defensive value. They also saw in 2018 what kind of ceiling he could possess. He's a potential 20/20 guy if he figures it out. Teams usually think they can get the most out of a guy with a change of scenery and their tutelage... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody sees any potential in him, and we should bench him for Randy A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttitansfan4life Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I’m assuming resigning Ozuna and trading for Arenado isn’t happening with Mo leading the charge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wouldn't be a Mo issue. If Mo wanted to add both Ozuna and Arenado, you're taking about adding 30+ million to the payroll for just 2020. That's assuming we could get Colorado to take Carpenter or Fowler's deal in exchange... Bill DeWitt has final say with those decisions...

ttitansfan4life Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Not a fan of getting rid of Jose but it is what it is. Sucks that we’re stuck with a bum like Fowler instead. Edited January 10, 2020 by ttitansfan4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOSteelers56 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I bet Randy A is going to crush it in Tampa. I’ve heard good things about the pitcher we got. I keep seeing things about flipping him to the Rox but I haven’t seen anything concrete. I don’t have twitter anymore. Is there any smoke to that?
