So our current top two prospects and one of our top prospects from last year already in the big leagues? No thanks.

That is close. I'd almost do it. I could part with 2/3.


I would do that in a heartbeat. I think Musgrove is still a few years away, Tucker isnt really impressive considering the young bats we have, and Martes is a big question mark.

For only two years of Quintana no thanks! Give us three or four then I'd do it

It would be 3 years, I think.

I would say Tucker has been impressive. He was a top 5 pick just a few years ago. At 19 in high A he had over 1000 ops.

Yup.

We're talking Kyle Tucker, not Preston.

Most have Kyle as our #2 prospect to Martes.

Switching gears here. Is Fisher ready for a shot at the bigs? I'd like to see him called yup this year if we're having trouble finding a 3rd solid OF.

We also have Kemp and Hernandez. In a normal offseason, those guys would be trade pieces, but this year, to get anything quality in return, it takes a couple of top five prospects. Not sure what happens to them.

Sounds like your phone has still been programmed from talking about Isaiah Canaan on the Rockets thread

Royals starters Danny Duffy and Yordano Ventura are two of the pitchers on the Astros' list of rotation targets, MLB.com's Brian McTaggart reports. The two K.C. arms join several other previously-known names (i.e. Jose Quintana, Chris Archer, Jake Odorizzi and other Tampa Bay's starters) as potential trade fits for a Houston team looking to upgrade its starting pitching.
From yesterday.

Call me crazy, but I would buy low Ventura. He's an *******, no doubt, but he brings an edge our team has lacked.

That mainly being velocity. I agree... get him in a positive clubhouse, let Storm work with those raw ass tools he's got.

Might still be some tensions with him and George. And rightfully so.

But then George wouldn't have to worry about getting hit by him.

Do Ventura and Springer have a history? Pretty sure it was Volquez who KO'd Springer in 2015.

No worries mate. Ventura is a hot head/thug but I'd root for him if he played for the good guys.

AW **** I haven't thought about it. Man that is the perfect trip to take my old man on. We've done a ballpark tour about 10 years ago (Wriggly, The Jake, Oriole Park, Shea, Old Yankee, Fenway, & Cooperstown) and Vegas about 4 years go.

Cionel Perez Voices Frustration After Signing With Astros
[url=http://www.baseballamerica.com/international/cionel-perez-voices-frustration-signing-astros/][/url]
I know his agency likely wrote this letter, but anyone who just deposited over $1M into their bank account for playing a game won't get much sympathy from me. I also expect this kid to have some type of arm surgery over the next year or two.
