My Trade Target

[waroriole]

Hellickson is a Phillie now right?

I think if Duquette were to try to work out a deal with MacPhail we are gonna end up really regretting it. Macphail is great at turning a mediocre part into like 3 good prospects.

Andy will talk Dan into giving up Manny.

Option-able pitching and outfield.

We need to keep our optionable pitching.

I would prefer if the Orioles trade for someone like Jeremy Hellickson instead. Hellickson's contract is up after this year and he won't cost too much in terms of prospects. He could be similar to what Joe Saunders was for the Orioles in 2012.

Do we really want to trade even more prospects for a rental?

We need to keep our optionable pitching.

For what? The run we are making for the ring in 2019?

There were at least 3 great trades were he sold off one valuable piece to get parts.

Tejada trade, Bedard trade, Koji trade

There were at least 2 other great trades were he 'bought' for us and landed guys like JJ Hardy and Mark Reynolds.

His Free Agent signings didn't always work out so well, but his trades were overall quite successful for us.

If you look at what he's done in Philly already trade-wise I think it's already impressive.

I am not sure I call the Tejada trade great we got some young pitching that either stunk or was a middle reliever. Albers was average at best, Patton was ok middle reliever, safarte stunk, Costonzo never made the team. Luke Scott was a very good player but because all the arms he traded for stunk it was just a hitter doing well and us still losing because of pitching.
