Liberatore looks to be #3 on our list now. And would he not be rated 6.5/medium?
If 2 outfielders are traded, that will thin the outfielders a bit. Liberatore does not have to be protected, roster wise, for several years. I wonder if this wouldn’t be a precursor to resigning Ozuna?
Is this fake news?
Imagine Liberatore and Thompson pitching for Palm Beach?
We’re picking up the Rays third ranked prospect. It would be like most organizations top ranked player in a loaded Rays minor league system.
They also gave a lot for 2 years of Ozuna.
If, and it is a big if, what might an Arenado to us look like. I am assuming, Gorman, or Montero, Arozarena, O’Neill, or Thomas, Reyes possibly, plus either Fowler, or Carpenter.
I hope the Red Sox and Astros both lose first round picks.
So what penalties will be handed down? Suspensions, fines, and possible loss of draft picks?
Should any credit be given for Kyle Hendrick? He was acquired in the Dempster trade with the Rangers. Obviously a shrewd acquisition, but not a home grown prospect.
The vesting option would be for 2020, and 2021, right?
I have always liked Carlsons approach. Patience, now mixed with occasional aggresiveness in the right situations. And he has been younger than league average. He also does not strike out much. He has improved similarly to Mercado did, although he did not have to switch positions.
I am curious where Carlson will hit when he is called up? Maybe second, or third in front of Goldschmidt? I also am hoping Wongs 2019 finish was a sign of things to come.
January 4, 2020 at 3:12 pm in reply to: Trade Ideas/Acquisition Ideas/Non-Cards Rumors – 2019-2020 #118333I see no rush to add Carlson. A month or 2 playing every day is what he needs. He may not get that in St Louis. Also interesting is the Cards will have a free move to make on Hicks likely going to the 60 day DL after spring training.
What happens to Carlson if we resign Ozuna? I guess he still could replace Fowler or Bader (Or whoever the center fielder is?)
If we only had the DH coming. Ozuna would be perfect.
Memphis rotation will be interesting to watch as Flaherty, Wainright, MIkolas, KIm, Helsley, Cabrera, CMart, PDL, Gomber, Hudson, PDL, Reyes, vie for St Louis’ rotation or bullpen. I hope there is a spot in Memphis’ rotation for Rondon.
I know it’s hindsight, but outside of declining his 2020 option this winter, I wished they had deleted his 2020 option, and make it a 2 year deal ending in 2021.
January 1, 2020 at 12:10 am in reply to: Trade Ideas/Acquisition Ideas/Non-Cards Rumors – 2019-2020 #117968As long as he is healthy, I’ve advocated signing Wood for several months. As they say, you can never have enough pitching. His career numbers say he is due for a bounce back year.
I am concerned about Brian’s report from the AFL that Roberts was maxing out in the upper 80’s. Hopefully that was an anomaly after his first pro season. We’ll know more in the spring.
Any news on injured pitchers Derian Gonzales and Andrew Morales? Memphis ought to have a crowded bullpen. I guess news might come out after the Rule 5 draft.
The Cards certainly offer among the best pitching depth in the majors. While some technically not “prospect”, this depth offers insurance to the big club, flexibility to shuttle them back and forth to Memphis for years to come, and valuable trade chips. It also should allow them to restore minor league depth in the lower minors.
I think at bats and innings pitched should be used as rookie status as have in the past. Days on the roster, but sitting on the bench shouldn’t be counted against them. Thomas is an unfortunate example of this.
If players vying for a 26 man roster spot are hitting/pitching equally, I would imagine a player with 1 option year left would get the nod. Maybe a little bit of a general statement, but O’Neill comes to mind as an example. PDL also.
I would not keep JMart unless the National League adds the DH. With all of young outfielders we have, I would rather give them playing time.
