Why would the Barves go in for Gray again? They have plenty of good pitching prospects and Teheran is basically in a similar situation to Gray. He's 1 year removed from some good seasons just like Gray was last year who then picked it up this year.

Would someone please explain to me exactly what emotional response the Phillies' farm team was trying to convey with this boxscore?

>>77409660
Well Gray still has 3 years of control after this season so the incentive to trade now isn't very high. Might as well see if anyone bites and then lower your standards later on, maybe in the offseason or next trade deadline.

>>77409684
Gray has only ever posted a WAR above 5 once in his career, and has a pretty hefty injury record given his short career. I don't think it's terrible for the Yankees to be wary of trading away prospects they could use.

>>77410647
Dodger should look to center a piece around Calhoun or Will Smith or Alvarez (tougher to part with). Calhoun is the best and most complete bat in the Dodgers system. Will Smith was the 1st round pick last year and he's elite at defense. He's also athletic and good OBP. Alvarez is having a really bad year this year due to his control. However he also has the highest upside and he did well in the minors prior to this year.

>>77410856
Considering he struggled mightily early in the season, and was playing through injuries and yet still managed to have a terrific OBP says more than BA. I don't think Crawford is the second coming of Jimmy Rollins, but he's got tools to be a very good shortstop in the league

>>77410899
>but he's got tools to be a very good shortstop in the league
Literally no one said he didn't. The initial claim is that he won't even be a top 10 shortstop of his generation, and I named more than 10 players who will likely outperform him in his age bracket. Nitpicking over one of them won't change that overall point.

>>77410911
Considering I see him being better than everyone aside from Rosario and maybe Torres in the prospect bracket, there's 7-8, and not 10+ as you implied.

>large number of failures
95% of all minor league prospects fail to make it in the majors. The fact that some higher ranked prospects failed doesn't mean that prospects that are higher ranked aren't still much more likely to succeed in the big leagues, or that every single prospect has the same chance of succeeding. Viewing things like this is really stupid, and I hope you feel a little bad for thinking it.

>>77411094
Sure sure, but two months of struggles isn't enough for me to drop someone. And not all prospect ranking sites have dropped him either. I think it's Prospectus or America that keeps him in high regard

>>77411090
He's hitting pretty well in AAA this year. I think he could be a decent 4th outfielder.

I'm interested in seeing how much of Liriano's salary Houston is taking on.

>>77411173
Again, no one is saying he can't still be a viable prospect. Just that he's no longer viewed as a top 10 shortstop prospect by a lot of people, and certainly won't be better than many of the players around his age already in the MLB.

>>77411154
man, they are really in disarray. No team players, everyone is out to get one another.

They really need to go back to the fundamentals. They had sustained success for 8 years and all of a sudden they just combust.

>>77411174
none, just like houston is covering all of aoki's contract

So a warm body who will probably leave after this season and a middling prospect. What a haul. -_-

All things considered, that wasn't a bad trade for the Yankees.

If you think having a spot on the active major league roster be unable to contribute in any meaningful way is "absolutely nothing," you're fucking retarded.

>>77411341

>blow out your knee in the 1st inning of your 1st MLB game before your 1st career AB

I'd say it's a good deal for both sides. Yanks get a reliable starter under contract for a while, A's get some high-upside guys. Shame they couldn't get Florial though.

I guess he could be sick out of the bullpen but it seems an awful lot to give up for a rental question mark reliever

>>77411366
>reliable starter

he hasn't been healthy in almost two years and they're basically banking on his last 6 starts

>>77411360
They just got rid of a prospect who has continually dropped in stock throughout his minor league career, a pitcher who hasn't been healthy since being drafted in 2015, and an outfielder who is out for the season, and is one of the lesser prospects in an area the Yankees have a lot of depth in.

Alright Rangers, accept Will Smith and Diaz for Darvish. Orioles, accept Calhoun, Dustin May, and Santana.

>>77411384
And Fowler and Kaprelian are both injured right now. There's risk on both sides.

>>77411389
I know but you can run the farm dry fast as fuck, look at the red sox

>>77411402
Fowler isn't much of a risk. Pitching is different.

>>77411372
They're going to use Liriano as a reliever, right? Teams always seem to overpay for relievers at the deadline.
It really is a miracle the Jays got something notable for his bum ass though.

>>77411394
Usually it's the bad teams that take players in the rule 5 draft.

>>77411415
The Yankees are done after this trade now. If they make anymore moves, it won't be a big one. Fowler was the only Top 100 prospect given up anyways. The other two prospects dropped off the list.

>>77411423
Prospects are inherently riskier than proven MLB players.

>Blue Jays trade P Joe Smith to Indians

We /firesale/ now?

Joe Smith to tribe per Hoynes

>>77411402
Fowler will recover from his injury 100%. Not the same as a starting pitcher that has had a chain of lat/shoulder/arm issues in the same year and a half span.

>>77411399
They already went quantity over quality with Reed, lad. Gotta figure that means the offers have been dismal for anyone else you were hoping would get traded. So far, four relievers for Duda and Reed

>>77411360
Dude why are you so stubborn. Gray is there for another 2 seasons. Your comment would make more sense if Darvish was the one traded.

>>77411442
No shit. That wasn't what I was referring to.

>>77411469
And it IS what I was referring to. Even if both prospects completely recover from their injuries, there is no guarantee that they will actually pan out in the MLB. Gray has injury concerns, but he's proven he can pitch to a certain level in the big leagues.

but what the fuck? even if they see him as a reliever and are in the market for one, there's gotta be better options. you'd think they're in the best position to pull the trigger on a guy like britton (is he, dare i say, unavailable?) or literally anybody other than a washed up starter with a 4.7 BB/9

If you guys weren't fucking casuals I wouldn't have to. American /sp/ is a joke because it's the most casual American sports discussion outside of Facebook.
If the guy hadn't broken into the bigs in 3 years since the draft the other retard mentioned, the outlook for his value as a rule 5 pick in that draft is exceedlingly grim. Either he spent a year in MLB riding pine and wasting the most important year of his development in a new organization, or he'll be DFA'd and the team loses him, potentially also having lost the player they didn't put on the 40 man to make that pick in the first place. Now do you understand why I keep using the word "retard?"

As a life-long player and fan of the game of baseball, and one who can admit that MLB was one of the last remaining bastions of entertainment within the bundle of pure shit I am forced to pay for in my cable subscription each month, I am here to tell you that it's now over.
I am no longer going to watch or give any credence to anything related to Major League Baseball, moving forward, until they remove Brian Cashman from his position in the Yankees front office. I am also cancelling cable too, as a result. No problem, I'll save 1500 bucks a year.
Today I witnessed a trade where Cashman reached straight-up alarming levels of theft that one could legitimately begin to consider that the trade was possibly fixed, and that Billy Beane was in on it.
We've all seen bad trades yes. On both sides of the team you are rooting for. I get that. But today was the straw that broke this camel's back. MLB is not worth my time or energy anymore.
Cashman robbed GM after GM on bullshit trades with low level prospects in trades for superstars, that not only tilted the balance of power in the league, but caused other gm's to be fleeced as well in a weak market. causing them to panic and trade stars for next to nothing in fear of getting robbed by Cashman.
It's basically an unacceptable amount of leverage Cashman holds over the MLB I am no longer willing to deal with, considering the technology available. The whole thing is absurd. When Brian Kenny indicated the overpay of these trades on MLB network, they were anywhere from 90%-100% likely to guarantee the Yankees the world series.The game is no longer real to me. It's just fake bullshit made for all star wrestling fans.

That said, I'll be back when they remove Cashman. A little parity can help the game, and we can all get back to reality. Until then.. Base out and rock on!
