So- let’s say the pirates called up and said- we are trading Paul Skenes what’s your offer…
would you offer: Melton, Matthews, Arrighetti and Ullola?
personally I wouldn’t do it if I were houston. Pittsburgh would say no. I think any discussion for Hunter Brown would look a lot like that.
Holy shit. I thought melton was going to be 9/1, not 8/1.
that’s promising. Nice to see Hummel fuck right off forever. Maybe they just trade Chas for nothing much at the deadline.
Hoooo boy. That value would have to be really high.
3.5 years of club control at short money for a guy I think is an ace.
I’d need 2 top 50 and a top 100. I can’t imagine anyone doing that. Maybe Milwaukee? They have like 8 top 100 guys, they’d love all that club control and they are legit WS contenders right now. They have that stud that he could be a tentpole for.
I’d really have to swallow hard if they offered that. I suspect they wouldn’t.
Value for a true ace (how I value Framber) at the deadline is top 50, good prospect, lotto ticket.
if someone gave me the Tucker package I’d do it in a heartbeat.
I would absolutely trade any of our starters in the right deal for prospects. That includes Framber. The value would just have to be right. I realize I’m all alone on an island with that.
Perspective on that lineup from yesterday.

we are getting shut out. I'm just glad we didn't end up getting no hit or had a perfect game shoved up our ass.
3-3 road trip with all the injuries isn't bad. 4 with the A's and 3 with the Nationals- you'd like to think that was 6-1 or 5-2 incoming, but we will see I guess.
Literally was typing mine as you were typing yours.
Dana says they expect Paredes and Meyers back in August. I absolutely do not believe him. Very vague on those guys. He was much more specific on the other guys.
I had pens back in the Nats series, might kiss that by a series but should be soon. Yordan maybe 8/5-8/10.
sounded like Arrighetti and Javier were 2 or 3 starts away pain free.
Yeah there just wasn’t any service time related reasons not to do it (he’s not super 2- and if he sucks you send him down and just wait a month next year to steal that 7th year like they did with Tucker.
and- I literally said- maybe he sucks and strikes out 50% of the time but whoever you are thinking of playing instead of him sucks. At least with Matthews the chance exists for him to run into a couple or draw some walks, steal some bases and steal you a win or two.
I wanted him up as soon as Peña got hurt. I think it’s likely he will strike out too much to be a really good player.
if he doesn’t though, it’s almost inevitable he will be a star with his speed, ability to draw walks and power.
My wife owned a home in north shore 20 years ago. We met and married about 15 years ago. She’s originally from Polk County.
Makes the sex tent make a little more sense, right?
Yeah- I was sort of surprised by this one and I thought he would have been a guy that we were good with keeping around. It's an up or out world if you want to get paid- but I'd be surprised if the staff told him to hit the bricks. I'd also be sort of surprised if the staff offered him any money to stay. But, going to another SEC school, then becoming a starter on a good team sort of profiles as the kind of guy that you'd want to keep around, all things being equal.
