You say that like we traded Norris for Hoes.


Hader is doing his best to salvage that trade and we'll see what Derek Fisher becomes. But LJ Hoes is garbage.

JL has said we're looking to add offense at the ML level. I don't see how Cosart would bring back anyone worth a shite.

We might get a Marwin Gonzales level player for Cosart. not worth it at this point. his potential upside is worth continuing to develop in my opinion.

I love how these sites have rumors that the astros are talking trades with Cosart yet none of them can site any actual trades (teams/players to be traded for)

My point is I would rather hold on to Cosart than ship him off for another useless borderline major league bat. There's already enough of those on this team and I think Cosart contributes more value than someone like a Tyler Colvin.

For sake of discussion, if we did trade Cosart what would we need to get back for us to be happy about the trade?

A solid bat.

And you can probably bet that as soon as Cosart is gone, he'll "shred" the FO.

Deahields has not been real good and he's still at AA ...still young though . We need a plus bat if we trade JC or don't trade him it all

Cosart and Kemp would hopefully bring in a high contact LF bat.

Wouldn't mind that. Kemp is blocked here.

Why would the Rangers want Cosart?

And before being traded, Hammels was actually really solid. Not sure what has gotten into him, but having him as a 6th man, odd start kind of guy is a nice luxury to have.

Straily went to the Cubs in that deal but yeah, the A's pitching depth for October is top notch

I think checking in means lowballing just to see if LUnhow is trying to just get rid of the guy.

Cosart doesnt have much value. As big of a douche as he is, keep him, try to knock him down a few pegs, but develop him. I just wish he wasnt such an asshat because he does have a lot of upside.

Here is how the call between DAniels and Lunhow went:

*phone rings*

JL: Hullo?

JD: hey Kevin, John Daniels from the Rangers calling

JL: Kevin? this is Jeff Lunhow!

JD: really? I always thought your name was KEvin...hmmm...anyhooo

JL: cut to the chase man I'm about to close a deal to trade Chris Carter to the Tigers for MIggy and Sherzer straight up. just need to sign the paper...what do you want?

JD: Listen Kev, we really like Cosart's potential and think a change of scenery would be good for him. If I told you we would be willing to part with one Rusty Greer and throw in a future 50th round pick for Jarred, could we do business?

JL: Hmmm. Greer...I have always liked his peripherals...left hand stick, some power...

JD: Just ask Nolan and Reed Ryan what kind of player and person Rusty is...they will tell you he's the tops. Can we make a deal here Kev???

JL: its JEfff dammit!

JD: Ok, you are taking too long, I"m pulling the 50th round pick from the deal...its Rusty for Cosart straight up now and if you keep beating around the bush I'm hanging up

JL: WAIT a minute! I"m having Sig fire up the Super Saber Computer adn double check Rusty's rw+WAR/OPSreciprocal linear projection average...it takes s little longer to fire it up since we installed that anti hacking software

JD: linear projection wut???

JL: its a new formula proprietary to our club

JD: Just ask NOlan, Rusty is like family!

JL: Welp, we have no record of Rusty in our Super Saber Computer, are you sure he's still around?

JD: I'm insulted Kevin! Yes he's still "around" that computure of yours probably got hacked by Billy Beane again and he's trying to sabotage the deal, just like he did with the Aiken medical report and that CSN network. SUrely you won't fall for this again!

JL: Good point, that Beane guy thinks he's so freaking smart!

JD: I'll fax over the paper work ina few minutes Kev.

JL: its JEff!

A name I'm hearing being thrown around is Yelich.

I think it's just speculation though.
