Seriously? Lol. How many Miguel Cabrera's are there in the world?Classyposter58;1555821 wrote:And Miguel Cabrera was the next big prospect for Florida at 3B as well. How about that one?
Because Detroit might benefit from it. And when it comes to that, Classy is either like any EA Sports gamer who thinks that because you can put a totally bullshit trade through the computer, it should happen in real life, too...or just thinks other teams will make non-sensical trades to help his team.Rotinaj;1555868 wrote:Its just a dumb trade for the Reds. Our pitching staff is already going to be awesome next year. Why would they trade an MVP for more pitching?
No obviously it would help Detroit but Cincy would finally get a true ace, but yes if they lose both Choo and BP then no they cannot lose VottoHeretic;1555974 wrote:Because Detroit might benefit from it.

I mean, trade two established quality players for one established quality player and one prospect who may or may not ever be an actual player. If you're a contender, why would you risk hurting the current team with a trade to get prospects? And if you're not a contender, why would you trade for last year's Cy Young winner?
I think they are fine with their "untrue" aces. Cueto, Latos, Bailey, Leake. Yeah, I'll take those 4 guys and Votto over Scherzer.Classyposter58;1556083 wrote:No obviously it would help Detroit but Cincy would finally get a true ace, but yes if they lose both Choo and BP then no they cannot lose Votto

Well, Boras had his mystery team, but it cost his client $10 million apparently when he told him to turn down the Yankee deal for $140 because it wasn't Ellsbury money.wildcats20;1556230 wrote:7 year deal for Choo in Texas.
Dusty sucks....have you seen his playoff resume?Classyposter58;1556110 wrote:How many playoff series have they won with them?
Choo relies on speed?HitsRus;1556254 wrote:^^^especially for 7 years. Thought the same thing for Ellsbury....both of those guys rely a lot on speed in and for their games....not gonna be there at the end of their contracts.
He may not be worth that but the stats you gave tell us little.IggyPride00;1556257 wrote:These 7-10 year deals are a plague on MLB right now.
It is crazy to me that guys on the other side of 30 like Werth, Choo, Ellsbury are $18-20 million dollar a year guys over 7 years.
Choo hit .285 with 21 homers and 54 RBI's. Is that really a $19 million dollar a year guy?
The price inflation is just killing middle market teams.
Ill take a leadoff guy that gets on base a shit ton and hits 20+ homers all day. I think he'll be very good for the next 4 or 5 years. These 7+ year deals are outrageous though.Ironman92;1556262 wrote:He may not be worth that but the stats you gave tell us little.
They are and as long as one team keeps doing it...it's going to be an item.Rotinaj;1556265 wrote:Ill take a leadoff guy that gets on base a shit ton and hits 20+ homers all day. I think he'll be very good for the next 4 or 5 years. These 7+ year deals are outrageous though.
