Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

u wuddnt have to give up more then a B+C prospect

What would be Houston's biggest needs? With Lee gone, I would also call up Brett Wallace for them.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

u def shuddnt throw in the towel....4 games back with 2 months to go is by no means insurmountable.....on paper, the trade itself is a no-brainer for u....just depends on if u a) care about being fair and b) do u have any emotional ties to J-Roll?

Well I'm a long time Phillies fan, so theres that. I certainly care about being fair, but doesn't that seem like a fair trade for a team that is in contention to win a World Series? SS has always been a position of weakness for the BoSox and this could put them over the edge.

PS: Jimmy is having a good year, hitting .302, 23 RBI's, 7 HR's, and 17 SB's.

they could use an upgrade at 3B, CF, maybe RF and the entire pitching staff

Fair? Yes
Realistic? No

Aim for that WC spot dude. With J-Roll producing those kind of numbers he can carry you to the playoffs. Middlebrooks might do the same for Lehigh-Valley if you care about the AAA playoffs

i'd hang on to J-Roll personally....ur still in the WC-hunt...no reason to give up a useful player with 2 months left to go

Overall depth meaning the best prospect they can get. They're not in a situation where they can be picky

I went ahead and did it. For reasons I can not explain, I've lost hope in my team for the year, and decided it was time to move on. Middlebrook fills a void at 3B, as Polanco is likely done after this year or next. I have Galvis who I like a lot, and this allows me to keep starting him with Utley back.

It just seemed to make sense.

Me too. I almost always keep trades at a minimum. I just feel like this is a team that is getting a little too old, and if we aren't competing this year, we won't compete next year either. A good time to make a move, IMO.

Thats true, but I'm not sure that its any more or less insurmountable without Rollins. Utley is back, and Galvis is hitting well. I still feel like theres an outside shot to win a spot.
