Our lack of willingness to move JJ for anything less than an absolute stud bothers me.

I'm not saying you take a garbage player for him... but they need to let him go.

I'd rather hang on to him than bring in a player who won't be much better than Prado

You have to get a legit bat if you want to move him at this point. You can't take mediocre.

And we'll move him for less than a stud. We would have packaged a deal around Lorenzo Cain, who is unproven at the major league level. The right deal will show up, hopefully.

Agreed. I really wish we would have dealt him at the halfway point this past season.


Then again you know what they say about hindsight

It's pretty much impossible to trade a pitcher with a 1.80 ERA at the all star break when your team is in contention.

Obviously, that is when his value was at it's max, but it was supposed to be at a high point this offseason too, which is when I have said we should trade him for the last couple years. You couldn't forsee his injury.

Phils are getting even older, and the Marlins are trying to pick up a guy who won't give a frick the second the ink dries (Reyes) and a 31 (34) year old power hitter who has seen his production decline the last two seasons.

I wouldn't be too concerned.

Makes sense

I mean, we've been attempting to shed payroll this offseason and were expecting to increase payroll for next year so where is that money gonna go?

Potentially to this guy, although I would imagine it's a longshot

First I'm hearing of this Yoennis guy.

What makes him so special?

(on my phone so I don't feel like searching)

He's from Cuba

He's not even an eligible free agent yet. He has to apply and get accepted. Should happen in the next few weeks.

True, but he's a true CF. Would move there next year once Bourn is gone.
