Who Should Be Traded at the Trade Deadline?

[tjfla]

Jon Heyman mentions Nolasco as the #1 most likely SP to be dealt. Slowey is #16 on the list

So once Mathis is activated I just assume Olivo will be released, right?

[HUGG]

they'll probably send Skipworth down and carry 3 catchers for a while

which is dumb, but not any dumber than Skip being on the roster to begin with

[Miamarlin21]

But Kearns should be back soon, right? Skip is up because of Kearns being on the bereavement list.

[HUGG]

oh true

fucking Kearns

[Miamarlin21]

Here's how I see it all breaking down.

Kearns will be activated and Skipworth will be sent down.
Solano will be activated and Green will be DFA
Mathis will be activated and Olivo will be released
Mahoney will be activated and possibly sent down or Coghlan/Diaz sent down
Stanton activated and Diaz will be DFA (or Ozuna will be sent down if he starts to suck)
Alvarez will be activated and LeBlanc will be moved to the bullpen.
Eovaldi will be activated and Sanabia will be sent down or moved to pen
Morrison will be activated and Mahoney or whoever is playing first will be sent down.
Kochman will be activated and automatically DFA.
Valiaka will be activated and Dietrich will be sent down, or Polanco or Valika will be DFA
Ceda will be activated and optioned to New Orleans
Silverio will be activated and Kearns will be released.

Skipworth hit .242/.300/.468 16hr vs. RHP last season. If he could continue to develop enough just do that at the big league level, he'd be more than fine with a partner to face lefties.

MLB league average C last season was .247/.317/.398

.776 vs RHP in '10, .768 in '12

He could probably be the John Baker half of a major-league catching platoon.

That's not sexy, and it doesn't make him a prospect. But he's absolutely somebody we should have an organizational interest in developing. Especially because he turned 23 two months ago.

If Boston is still in the AL East race at the deadline,watch for them to make a big play for Cishek. They have already had preliminary talks with us but don't wanna commit to anything until they know they will need him.

I doubt/know they would trade him for Cishek but damn Garin Cecchini would look good at 3B for us. We could still probably get a really nice deal tho from them especially if we get a bidding war going

[Beef]

Know doubt

They don't wanna commit

[HUGG]

He knows they would do it but he doubts it. The / makes it ok.

[Namaste]

Beef, we're thinking of trading you at the deadline for Hotcorner.

Stay tuned.
