Personally I'd take a pass on Rooker. Guys who come out of nowhere in their late 20s tend to go right back where they came from. This is where everyone brings up Nelson Cruz, but do some research and you'l find a heck of a lot more flash in the pans than guys who sustain it for very long.
I'd love to have Vlad though.
Sorry but I'm going to have to disagree, and here's why.Quote:
I wouldn't call Rooker an out of no where prospect. He has an OPS+ of 127 and 169 the past 2 seasons.

I think when you're looking a moving MLB pieces, the focus/reporting is on teams for the current year playoffs. Lorenzen and Gray would both be in that camp.
Lorenzen was the focus of this article and goes into depth:

I'm cool with that. I really like him and wish him well. Some don't like his peripherals, like FIP. I think he is a hit-to-contact type pitcher which I think doesn't score well with FIP. But a low salary rental has to be worth something.
I'd be fine with Gray, as well. He'd save us on CBT this year and next. He was central to the "re-allocate" resources frenzy a week or so ago.

Absolutely no way I'm sending Bradford to the pen. Especially if we're looking to deal Lorenzen/ Gray. And I don't think there's anyway we move Latz with him being the lone lefty out of the pen.

They said recently that Bradford will be pitching out of the pen to finish the season. Maybe injury concerns? But they already put that out there.
