a lot of them being discussed in other threads feel free to throw 'em all here i'll start it off... TRADE: hanley for tuloboth make $16MM this yearbut rockies get to walk away from hanley after this year and (more importantly) the $118MM guaranteed to tulo through 2021PRO(s): we get MLB's leading hitter, highest war, and best defensive shortstop (statistically)CON(s): $118MM guaranteed through 2021 __
How about this: Yankees get: Hanley Rockies get: Stripling, Reed, Lee and top Yanks prospects We get: Tulo Long shot but I'm pretty sure the Rox got near nothing for Fowler so there's precedent
Interesting, how about: Dodgers get: Tulo, Price, and Papelbon Phillies Get: Tim Federowicz Rays get: Jamie Romak, Miguel Rojas, and Trayvon Robinson Rockies get: Steven Fife, Matt Magill, Chris Reed, and Carlos Triunfel
Remember it was the Rockies that paid and then re-signed Helton again since he was their bigbest attraction... They'll pay Tulo and run him out there with 8 quadriplegics to keep them coming to that bandbox if they have to.... ------- In a perfect, hypothetical world, I'd rather see them send Crawford home with a fat check and get Price.
Joakim Soria anyone??? Dodgers get: Soria Rangers get: Matt Magill, Scott Schebler and cash Oh and the Ranger throw in Darvish
In a perfect world, we trade for a good hitter. We don't need Price. If anything, I'd send out Patterson of Lee and dump Haren if anything if we are really desperate for a fifth starter. Price is a luxury. We need someone that won't choke when the bases are loaded and we have the pitchers spot up.
I was thinking the other day that if we really wanted to get another starter (and I bet we will) what we could get in return for Dan Haren. Interesting case considering he's not exactly a rental with that vesting option. He isn't terrible and some teams could use him as a mid-rotation starter.
Haren is traditionally a 2nd half pitcher so we will have to see but of course I'm not crazy enough to suggest he'll be great but I'm hopeful.
