Knobler says it's for Derek Dietrich

[Ramp]

sounds about right

[MiamiHomer]

Derek Dietrich

[Miamarlin21]

Ranked number nine by Baseball America for 2013. Once he was promoted to Double-A Montgomery he played second base. That would likely put Noah Perio back in Jupiter next year.

[MiamiHomer]

Reading that his range on defense would be better suited for 2B/3B.

[Erick]

So we rejected the A's offer and got this instead?

[Mainge]

Is this even official?

[MiamiHomer]

Yeah, JCR confirmed that it's close to being official. Looks like another low BB/ high K player with some power potential for IF.

[Ralph]

solid I'd like.

[Miamarlin21]

Kinda like another Perio with a tad more power?

[Big Z]

There's something about Dietrich's swing that I don't like.

[lilchris11]

thats it???? wow that sucks waste of a trade if true

[HUGG]

This is why I didn't want to trade him.

If I trusted our front office more, I'd have been all for it.

What was A's offer?

[Erick]

I mean, I guess you can't be happy to get Grant Green and not be happy with this return. Looking at numbers, they seem like similar players.

I kinda hope they do trade Stanton now just to see what the worst lineup of all-time would look like. (ok, I'm probably exaggerating with that last comment...)
--------------------

What was A's offer?

*Rumored* offer, sorry.
Either way, that was probably a stupid question. The value seems similar now that I've researched it more.
