Would you trade Adam Jones for a number one starter?
Roch asked this in his latest blog entry. What say you?

It really depends on who but yes, chances are I would.

I would say this...I would rather have a number 1 starter than Jones.
But I would need to know who the pitcher is, what their contract situation is and what else can I get in trade for Jones and compare that to the #1 starter.

Yes regardless, but under the condition that the #1 SP would be under 30 and under control for at least 3 years. The problem is no other team would be willing to do that.

That would most likely take a 3 team type deal. The Orioles aren't that creative. Injury concerns aside, Josh Johnson of the Marlins fits that bill. Signed pretty reasonable.

Are we talking Luke Hochevar/Livan Hernandez/Fausto Carmona/Wandy Rodriguez or are we talking Tim Lincecum/CC Sabathia/Roy Halladay/Cliff Lee/Felix Hernandez?

A young #1? Yes. But need to know more info about that particular pitcher, contract situation, etc.

I wouldn't even blink, if we are talking about a real no. 1 starter, not just some guy who is the best pitcher on a team with lousy pitching.

You beat me to it. I voted Yes, but it would have to be a true Ace, not a Guthrie type. (with all due respect to Guts, of course) Originally Posted by Frobby

I would swap Jones for a true ace, under the age of 30, with equal or more service time remaining. I would trade Jones for a good, young, 1/2 type pitcher with 3+ years of service time remaining, but would request a young bat with some upside to be part of the package.

I mean, who is it? How many years of team control? How expensive? There is no way to answer meaningfully without knowing that.

I also would not demand that pitching be the centerpiece of the deal, FWIW.

It would have to be a top 10 in MLB starter kind of thing with a good contract situation. I think the cutoff for me would be Cole Hamels.

I was just thinking of Hamels. This is the last year of his contract but has an extra arb year for 2012. I would probably trade Jones for Hamels Originally Posted by Skeletor

IYO, do you think its more likely we get a high ceiling bat or a high ceiling pitcher as the centerpiece for Jones? Originally Posted by RVAbird
