I am not in the belief that Rick is going to just give anyone away in this rebuild. Now I know some might not agree with that LOL

 

I wouldnt put it past Rick to get a top 100 at the very bottom type guy for Swarzak. Someone is going to get desperate after they strike out landing the other guys.

Might not be a bad guy to hold onto right up until the deadline. Get him some closing opportunities (if he gets any with this new roster lol) and see if you can leverage a desperate team.

If the supply of relievers was razor thin then it'd be a different story, but with Hand/Neshek/Britton/O'Day/Brach/Wilson (and I might be forgetting others) still available there's enough relievers to go around.

Swarzak would be a rental right? At best, we could hope for a lotto ticket, that's about it. I don't mind packaging him and Avi for something bigger.

Not sure if a couple weeks at the closer role is enough to change anything for a team in contention.

That would be incredible, but unlikely.

 

I would be very happy with a B, even B- prospect in exchange for a Swarzak rental.

Are Phelps and Kahnle comparable? I know Phelps also has some control and also has more of a track record I guess.

Phelps will be a FA after next season.

 

He's solid, not spectacular.

Don't really know much about these guys, but Hernandez seems like a pretty weak headliner if true.

I'm just looking at MLBPipeline, but he's a decent prospect...he's only 19, but projects to be a possible CF with a better than average arm.

 

Considering they got him and 3 other warm bodies, seems like a pretty nice return to me, given what we just got back.

Fangraphs & Baseball America both had him in the teens. Honestly, he's probably a Clarkin level prospect at best. Overall the returns for relievers haven't been that great so far this deadline IMO.

Brayan Hernandez wouldn't even likely be in the top 30 in the Sox system. He was going to be #9 on BA midseason list. #6 according to pipeline. Marlins pretty much got trash back but Phelps has been just okay. 30 years old and has another year of control. 47 IP, 9.77 K/9, 3.69 FIP and 0.3 fWAR.

Seems like there's a lot available.

Oh come on now. That is just hyperbole.

 

He'd be midrange in our top 30. Guy is young but has a lot of tools.

 

He is a better piece than Ian Clarkin.

He's something like 6-12 in Seattle's trash system. Would you rate him higher than Micker Adolfo, Luis Gonzalez, or Alex Call?

I ranked Basbabe #22 in our system yesterday and I would take him over Hernandez. He'd probably be in the mid to low 20's at best.

 

And I don't think he's a better piece than Clarkin.
