Blue Jays Discussion: Blue Jays acquire TROY TULOWITZKI... did I mention his idol is Derek Jeter?

[p.l.f.]

1 more involved also - Jon Morosi
4 prospects ouch

 

[BuppY]

it would mean more Kate Upton??

Sign me up. She's a dime.

@jonmorosi: To recap: #Rangers to acquire Cole Hamels for OF Nick Williams, C Jorge Alfaro, RHP Jerad Eickhoff, and at least 1 more player. @FOXSports

5th and 6th ranked in Texas system. The other guy I have no idea.

 

[trellaine201]

Geesh the Mets finally PH for that poor kid at SS Flores.

Classless Mets.

Crying or it's 30 Celsius with 60% humidity.

 

[p.l.f.]

I wonder what we would have had to give
I shudder to think

 

[Longshot]

Think controllable pitchers are costly?

Reporter on Twitter said the haul Philly got for Hamels was twice as much as what Rockies got from the Jays for Tulo.

 

[Lebanese Leaf]

In no way, shape, form, or stretch of the imagination should Stroman be moved this week. Anyone else, if AA feels its a good deal I'm down to bit the bullet for. Just not Stroman.

Not a bad haul considering the no trade clause.

 

[Eyedea]

It somewhat resembles the package the Jays got for Halladay. Just no Drabek-type piece.

not as much as you think. Rangers didn't have to give up their top prospects

probably something like

Pentecost, Alford, Boyd, and Greene

What if it's Stroman for Matt Harvey?

You can't make sweeping statements like that about any player.

Anybody can be traded in the right deal.

Isn't Hoffman more of a "sure-thing" than anything Philly got?

I removed myself from softball practice tonight...










...Because the bleachers were in the shade and my fiancee showed up with a sixer of Old Mil.

He can't block a trade to Texas.

I'm talking about the names on the market right now: Price, Samardzija, Fiers, Gallardo, Ross, Latos

Agreed. Close. At the time, it was the Phillies #2 (Drabek), #3 (Taylor) and #4 (d'Arnaud) according to BBA. All top 100 prospects as well. Two top thirty.

People forget how big of a haul that was at the time.

Very good. Now attempt to comprehend what I said in the post.

Who was #1 in their system, Domonic Brown?

That's not what you said.

You said Stroman shouldn't be moved - period.

"In no way, shape, form, or stretch of the imagination should Stroman be moved this week. Anyone else, if AA feels its a good deal I'm down to bit the bullet for. Just not Stroman."

I wouldn't want a GM running my team that boxed himself in by saying: "I won't trade X player no matter what."

 

[Lebanese Leaf]

Could someone please give me a quick rundown of who our top 10 prospects right now are? Would Guerrero Jr. crack top 10?

 

[Lebanese Leaf]

Lol seriously why are you trying to start an argument? I said "THIS WEEK" clearly in the context of deadline deals. Harvey isn't going anywhere anytime soon, definitely not this week.

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

Who was #1 in their system, Domonic Brown?

Yessir. Not bad.

Gose, whom the Jays wanted but the Phillies didn't want to give up, was #6.

 

[Lebanese Leaf]

Rosenthal now reporting deal is Hamels, Diekman, cash for Harrison, Alfaro, Williams, Eickhoff, Asher, Thompson. Is that an overpayment by Rangers?
