2013 Trade Deadline Talk

[Namaste]

tjfla tell them that Stanton isn't available until Free Agency

[Todd]

I would rather hell tell you he is available. That would mean Stanton is in Miami to stay.

[MiamiHomer]

That joke wasn't funny the first time you made it, Todd.

[Big Z]

Bob Nightengale reporting that strong rumor among GM's is that Giants will acquire Nolasco.

[Ralph]

cool send Susac and a Pitcher.

[Big Z]

cool send Susac and a Pitcher.

Just what I was thinking.

[Miamarlin21]

I don't know much about the Giants' system but Susac's numbers aren't that great.

[HUGG]

He's their #13 prospect.

Numbers are solid for a catcher and he crushes lefties. Worst-case, he and Brantly can share the catching duties. If Susac reaches his ceiling, he'll be the starter.

[Miamarlin21]

Ok, he is hitting .364 Vs. LHP, but don't we already have two guys who are could share time with Brantly in Realmuto (even though he is struggling big time) and Barnes?
--------------------
However, I do like Clayton Blackburn. His numbers aren't great, but he is in the hitter-friendly California League.

[HUGG]

Susac is much more highly thought of than either of them.
--------------------
Blackburn is their #6 prospect, we're not getting him for Nolasco.

[Miamarlin21]

Hembree was highly regarded, but he's struggled in the PCL. I doubt we could get him, but we love stocking up on back-end relievers.

I don't know much about the Giants' system but Susac's numbers aren't that great.

0.63 BB/K
14% BB%
.210 ISO
.268/.377/.478/.855 slash line

What's not good about his numbers?

[Miamarlin21]

You're right. My bad.

[Erick]

Hembree was highly regarded, but he's struggled in the PCL. I doubt we could get him, but we love stocking up on back-end relievers.

I feel like he's a guy this front office would be interested in. Just a couple of years ago, people thought he was going to be the Giants future closer.

[Big Z]

We shouldn't have a tough time acquiring Susac since they have Posey long term.
