Royals still looking at Rios and Beckham according to Knobler.
Whoa everything out there busts. Move along Hahn.

I'm not trying to bag on him, its just he has no value for a team like the White Sox, zero. And we took that and added a piece that has tremendous value while shedding payroll.
The only thing that bothers me is the Red Sox didn't give up much. Iglesias has two replacements ready to step in. I would have liked to see a Ranaudo-level prospect included. As it stands now it was Iglesias for Peavy straight up.

Is it a consensus Garcia > olt?
I think so. Looks to me like the book is coming together on Olt, pretty much ready for publishing.
At the very least I feel like Garcia has a lower chance of totally busting. What do you think?

I am just hoping Garcia can turn into a slightly lesser version of Carlos Lee.
Ultimately, we got a lot lesser than what the Cubs got for Garza, when trading arguably the more talented pitcher.
Mike Olt has bust written all over him with all those Ks. I like our #1 better. Their 2 is nice though.

My fear is that Avisail Garcia is the next Dayan Viciedo with some defensive value.
I'm curious to see this 240 lbs running around like a gazelle. Plus defense? Can that be mostly from arm strength?

Garcia is another physical specimen who doesn't know how to f***ing hit. Why can't we, just once, get someone that understands the strike zone?
I'm with you but the dude is killing Milb pitching this year. Look at his stats. It's like he has nothing left to prove.
QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:05 PM)
Is Garcia really all we get
Dude there's no way right? I find it hard that the team that always trades pitching for more pitching is happy with AG only.

Oh man, this place is gonna be a clusterf*** when we trade Peavy for a package centered around Will Middlebrooks or David Holmberg. It'd be super if they could, for once, exceed our expectations.

Can we please throw in 5 mil and get this best package...
Kris Bryant got almost 7 mil right? So adding 5 mil should get you a top prospect, all things being equal?
