Bingo. I'd argue he has the best pure stuff in the organization and that includes Kopech (which is saying something) but I still question if he can not only go deep into games consistently but if he can be a 200+ innings guy. Funny thing is I've seen comparisons ranging from Rich Harden to Roy Oswalt. We'll see.
I actually like Arozarena. Has very good potential, was a futures game selection, etc. I just don't think he or Martinez justifies getting Liberatore, but then again I am very high on him.
I absolutely love Liberatore as a prospect (I was adamant about the Sox drafting him in fact) so I'm very interested to see the details of this one. And if Hahn feels he likes him alot too and needs to trade for him then by all means.
Can add the Red Sox to the list now.

He's ok. His standard ERA didn't match the advanced stats. Ironically enough, he made his MLB debut against us nearly 4 years ago.
Very good curveball.
His velocity jumped coming out of the bullpen. Very good spin rate numbers, good K%, etc. That would be an interesting get. I'd probably make him the closer here if I'm the Sox.
Unless his elbow is truly fucked (which is certainly possible) then I highly doubt it. And the previous year he was pitching with a heavy heart off the field (his daughter was born with a heart defect and required numerous surgeries) not to mention only pitched in 21.2 innings in the second half compared to the 40.2 the first half.
