PaleAleSox Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Well he would for sure cost the most, so I guess it depends on if they are looking to fix it for just this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peanut33tillman Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Caba, Miller and Crawford would be the dream. Realistically I think you could potentially get Caba, Miller and maybe a lesser prospect like Rincones or Mcgarry. I coached Jordan Viars who has been on a tear in their farm in A ball lately. He’s a 2021 3rd rounder who I coached when he was back in school so selfishly I’d want him just because lol. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Grab Abel too as a throw-in. See what Bannister can do with him. I know he was a ranked prospect, and “throw in” may be hyperbolic, but he’s dropping like a rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few weeks ago the board consensus was they’d rather have Miller than Painter. I don’t get it. I understand Painter comes with injury risk but the sky is the limit for that kid. I don’t see the same with Miller personally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castellanos a down season at 93 OPS+. Even Sosa has been really strong, even. OFC, three of those horses are on the IL right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pettie4sox Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Stott is kinda meh, Castellanos is a shell of himself, I forgot about Sosa, he's legit. The point is, a pitcher's nightmare lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Why would folks not want Miller? Dude exploded in Low-A. Hit, power, and improved defense. Publications all up arrowed him into a top 50 prospect that should stick at SS. Sure he's struggling in High-A after a promotion, but this is the kind of up the middle talent you want in a return. I like Painter too, but I'm not anywhere near turning my nose up at Miller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me specifically, it isn't about 'not wanting him', it's about me not being sure if he is a guy I would want to headline a Robert deal. He seems like a pretty light headliner.

DirtySox Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 (edited) For me, I just want in on multiple Phillies position prospects. They have Justin Crawford (#33), Aidan Miller (#39), and Starlyn Caba (#50). Other then the Mariners they are probably the team that matches up best for a Robert return. Multiple top 50 position guys with ALL of them being up the middle types. I'm just not quite sure how other teams value Robert at the moment. But yea, if they are willing to lead with Painter I'm elated. (All rankings are from the most recent BA Top 100, which is now updated monthly.) Edited July 8 by DirtySox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Phillies will probably have a much better idea how their system looks after the draft, and feel more comfortable letting pieces go, knowing they just drafted replacements for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falstaff Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 I would think Crochet keeping Ohtani hitless in the 5 ab's with 4 k's might make a GM take notice. Very small sample size but Garret has had success against one of the best hitters in MLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems like a pretty light headliner. Totally disagree. He’s a great headliner and probably the best one available. If I could get Miller, plus one of Crawford/Caba and two other pieces, that’s a pretty good deal. I’d probably take a gamble on Mick Abel too. They line up well. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be doable; it leaves them their #1 guy and #3 or #4. Just scout the heck out of their (and others) systems for the secondary pieces. But Dombrowski really hasn't traded many prospects as GM of the Phillies, so we'll see. But Getz needs to start moving. The supply will increase in a week (especially with pitchers). Robert and Crochet will probably still be atop the available players, but there will be a lot of others to choose from. Toronto, Tampa, Washington, Detroit, Angels, Pitt, Cincy Texas (per this morning's article) won't go scorched earth, but will sell in varying degrees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
