GGajewski18 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Santana has been very inconsistent in his career, and this year he is pitching in a pitchers ballpark. And one poster said something about money, I believe Peavy is only making 2 million more than Santana if I'm not mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I'd like to have Middlebrooks. I don't know if I can say with certainty how much of the talent of a deal he should comprise, but we should get some guys like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I'm not in love with Middlebrooks by any means, but if they're going to sell low on a talent like that, I'm happy to see if he can pan out around here. I'm not sure how much other talent I'm sacrificing to roll that dice, but in theory I'm all for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how much other talent I'm sacrificing to roll that dice, but in theory I'm all for it. I'd have zero problem putting middlebrooks out there sharing time with Gillaspie and seeing who earns the spot, but man, I don't think I'd take him back for anything of value. I'd take him back for something like Danks, but I'd rater even get a solid a-ballet for Crain. You can always find guys like middlebrooks who are remote chances/recovery chances. He'll in a yet we might dump Viciedo for a guy like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
