Back on topic I still wouldn't do Montero for Nolasco. Montero will not be a catcher in the major leagues. Last thing we need is another 1BOriginally posted by Madman81Most of the people in the world being dumb is not a requirement for you to be among their ranks.

SIERA is an estimator of what a pitcher's ERA would be with average luck, defense, and park, by looking at other pitchers with similar strikeouts, walks, and ground ball rates in recent seasons. The stat goes a step further than similar estimators by accounting for the batting average on balls in play and home run per flyball rates of similar pitchers. Here's your trade candidate SIERA leaderboard from Baseball Prospectus:
Anibal Sanchez - 3.23
Rich Harden - 3.28 (18 innings)
Erik Bedard - 3.40
Derek Lowe - 3.73
Tom Gorzelanny - 3.80
Ubaldo Jimenez - 3.84
Chris Capuano - 3.84
Wandy Rodriguez - 3.85
Edwin Jackson - 3.86
Ricky Nolasco - 3.88
Brandon McCarthy - 3.90
Ted Lilly - 3.97
Hiroki Kuroda - 3.98
Jeff Niemann - 4.19
Brett Myers - 4.20
John Danks - 4.31
Aaron Harang - 4.34
Jason Marquis - 4.40
Javier Vazquez - 4.42
Livan Hernandez - 4.50
Jeremy Guthrie - 4.57
Jeff Francis - 4.64
Bruce Chen - 4.89
Kyle Davies - 4.89
Aaron Cook - 5.02 (38 2/3 innings)
There is a subjective element in choosing trade candidates - for example, it was my choice to leave off James Shields and include McCarthy. For the most part I tried to be inclusive, including players like Sanchez, Nolasco, and Jimenez even though they are unlikely to be dealt.

As the Marlins continue to creep towards .500, their trade plans seem to have become more concrete.
They will consider dealing Javier Vazquez, Leo Nunez and Randy Choate. They won't talk about Ricky Nolasco or Anibal Sanchez, or Josh Johnson.
"We were told 'no way' on Nolasco," said an official of one team that checked in with the Marlins in the last few days. "They want to build around Johnson, Sanchez and Nolasco moving into their new stadium."
Marlins people have suggested that if the team can get to .500 this week (they're three games under, as of Monday morning), they may not sell at all. It seems impossible that the Marlins could get back into the playoff race (they're 10 games behind the wild-card leading Braves), but they may still take a shot.
Vazquez has had a good run recently, with a 1.39 ERA over his last five starts. That includes interleague games against the Angels, A's and Rangers, but it's still hard to see any American League team taking a chance on him.
"I think he gets hives when he even flies over an AL city," one scout said.
Nunez and Choate could also be of interest to teams. Left-handed hitters are just 5-for-54 against Choate this year, with one walk, 23 strikeouts and with one double as the only extra-base hit. Nunez is 26-for-29 in save situations.

The Yankees have asked about Nolasco and Sanchez
Supposedly the Fish said they were not interested at the moment however told the Yanks IF they consider dealing 1 they are looking at Ivan Nova,a Catcher(Romine,JR Murphy or Gary Sanchez) as well as other prospects to get a deal done. The main reason they are asking about our pitchers is because Colorado will not budge off of Montero.
Nunez name has also been mentioned however look for Heath Bell to get dealt first then which ever teams missed out on him will look at Nunez.
The names teams have asked about I am hearing are
Nolasco
Anibal Sanchez
Choate
Leo Nunez
Dobbs
Helms
Nolasco and Sanchez would COST alot tho

Even if we'd trade Nolasco / Sanchez for a deal including Montero, where the hell would he play.
We can always flip him for something I guess.

Montero has no value once he's off the Yankees. His status is a prospect owes entirely to the new york hype machine. He's dioner navarroOriginally posted by Madman81Most of the people in the world being dumb is not a requirement for you to be among their ranks.
