Harold's Leg Lift Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I like Owen Miller. He could be the Indians starting SS if/when Lindor leaves but the trade as a whole looks to be quantity over quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmmmmbeeer Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Not giving up a top 5 prospect for a #2/#3 MLB pitcher with team control would seem to be a win for SD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure another team could have given up the MLB-available talent that the pads just gave up, even if they avoided some of their heavy hitters in Gore/Abrams.

Nokona Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I don't rate Naylor or Quantrill all that highly. Hedges, who cares. I don't know much of Cantillo. Arias may turn out to be a good major leaguer but I don't see the whole package coming together. I think San Diego has actually pulled this off. My opinion of Clevinger is sky high, I think he can be the best pitcher in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From reports on MLBTradeRumors, there were teammates that were so pissed at Clevinger and Plesac that they were going to opt out of the season if they both were brought back. So it seems like the whole organization was pissed at them. With that stated, they both are studs. Cleveland knows how to develop pitching. For the Padres, one point that was brought up is they changed out both of their catchers including the best framer in the majors. This doesn't bode well for their SP if you ask me. I wonder if Castro is the primary catcher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never claimed to be some miLB expert. I know the Padres and Sox both have solid systems. I'd imagine the talents of 7,9, and 11 are fairly similar between the two systems. If not, instead of getting on my ass, how about you experts offer up what you think the Sox equivalent would be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 If the Sox traded Giolito because he went out one night for a similar package, I think I would be kind of pissed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggins Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) I think an equivalent might be something like Cease / Collins / Engel for the MLB component. For the prospects, well, we don't really have a comparable farm system to SD. Edited August 31, 2020 by daggins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 IMHO opinion, the real winner of this trade is Quantrill. He has a lot of talent, but hasn't really developed. I think he could use a little of that Indians magic. This seems like Quantity of Quality unless Quantrill develops, but that's what the Indians do.

Any pitcher with an ounce of talent does well for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't imagine how hard this had to be hard on Cleveland fans knowing these two really good pitchers might possibly never play for them again because they were arrogant stupid young men, like many are. AND salt in the wound is because of what happened and you know Cleveland is trying to dump them because of bad blood, you will get a lesser value. I'm guessing Plesac stays but will he come back this season? Seems like the organization has put their foot down on that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your first 3 are right, I just don't think Kopech is the right stand-in for arias. I think it would just be a different package. Kopech/Engel/(Thompson or Dalquist)/some position player they were high on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
