gatorclaws Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 i don't like that they are gambling this much on someone they plan to strictly use as a reliever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Dub Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 They probably figure it's easier to trade pitching for bats than vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|schotzee| Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 So does johnny b become trade bait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|schotzee| Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Sounds kind of like chapman tbh... I've been reading up on him. They are very different actually. Iglesias has one hell of a sweeping curve. Smaller @ 5'11 165. He reminds me of Pedro Martinez light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalRep85-9 Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 So does johnny b become trade bait? I'm assuming you mean Cueto? I've said it before and ill' say it again, you have got to trade Cueto. You aren't going to be able to re-sign him. He'll get $150M minimum on the market, he knows this. A Cueto trade could restock your minor league system with soon to be MLB talent. You can't re-sign Cueto and Latos. Can even throw in Leake if you want. You might be able to get Latos and Leake. The Bailey contract sealed the fate of being able to keep them both. Unless Bob is willing to bump the payroll to substantially above $100M you can kiss Cueto goodbye. Nobody is taking that Bailey contract, we're stuck with it. ETA: if you meant broxton ignore that lol point still stands though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|schotzee| Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Yes I was referring to Broxton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
