Jack Parkman Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) If trading with the Braves, I'd like to try and snag Toussaint. I'd have zero complaints about that deal. That guy should call up Hahn/AA, get it done! Edited July 19, 2018 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson has a garbage hit-tool, so I guess it depends on his defense as catcher. If he can be a plus-defensive catcher, I can live with the .230 averages and 20 dingers. Ruiz is kind of....meh. Doesn't excite me. Doesn't move the needle in this much. I think if you can find a way to get Williams Contreras, and then any of their glut of pitchers, you do that deal instead. Bowman, however, seems to think the Braves have pegged Contreras as their catcher of the future though, which may mean they are putting more value in him than others may.

Make it Fried, William Contreras,Thomas Burrows and I would be on board with that. Edited July 19, 2018 by BlackSox13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one team that really understands competing over the long term even if it didn't result in as many Championships as they would have liked.

I'm not sure, you could be right. Looking at that deal though, Fried is the only real prospect and he's a 24 year old LH starter. Jackson has massive power, but no hit tool and Ruiz is eh.

I have to imagine that at the very least Kopech will be up for September. I would bet on Jimenez as well to try to make up some of the ABs he didn't get this season due to injury, but I would be much less certain.

I guess I could see Kopech, but at this point, I'd hate it. Just bring them both up a couple weeks into next season. Anything sooner is just short sighted.

If they plan on waiting past next years control deadline, then it is a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could always send Jimenez to AFL, plus I think he plays winter ball. I think they're going to try to squeeze the extra year of control out of both at this point, so a September callup doesn't make sense for either of them.

I'd prefer Fried, and a nice low level high upside guy, personally. Fried and William Contreras would be awfully neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
