Reddick has an OPS of above 1.1 with 95 PA. I know the small sample size, and that he's going to regress, but he's going to be an above average OF, and I just don't think its worth trading for Pence. Hell, we have another above average one injured in triple a (Kalish). OF is a position of strength, not weakness in our system.

Good. There are ten days until the deadline and Pence is the best bat on the market. Wade better be overwhelmed to pull the trigger this early.

Why? It's not like winning this year benefits them at all.

1. He's good
2. He's young
3. He's marketable (from Texas)
4. You won't get equal value

Fwiw, if I were the Astros, I'd sell high on him. His BABIP his .07 higher than his last three years, which I doubt is going to stay consistent.
