I wonder if everybody would be totally upset if he (Dan Duquette) traded Mancini for a competitive balance pick??  He became expendable with both Chris Davis and Mark Trumbo on this team.  How about both him and Walker get moved for two different  teams Competitive Balance picks???

Not everyone, you can never get anyone here to agree. 

I'd dump Walker for a type B pick in a heartbeat.  Mancini you would have to give me a type A.

2. Cincinnati Reds (32)
3. Oakland Athletics (33)

5. Minnesota Twins (35)
6. Miami Marlins (36)

I didn't say the offers were likely to materialize, just that I would do it.

Round A: the Brewers, especially if they trade Ryan Braun.  The Marlins can platoon him with Justin Bour at 1B.

Round B: the Padres, possibly.  They really don't have much.  The Royals will be in need after this season.

[Number5]

Hike!

You can do better than that. It's a success if the pick turns out to be as good as Mancini. He's more valuable than the pick.

Playing at Norfolk?

Picks can't be traded until the start of the season right?  

We could always use the comp B pick to attach to Ubaldo to get rid of him if neccessary.  That's been our history with it.

I look at it this way, Sedlock was taken at around the same spot as a type A competitive balance pick.  Months later Sedlock is the #1 or 2 prospect in the O's system.  Mancini might be in the top 5.

How is Mancini worth more than the pick?

Trade the player (Walker and Mancini) for future considerations.  Happens all the time.  Clears two spots on the forty to sign/trade for player that we will actually use and allows the two traded players the time in ST with their new ball club.

A bird in the hand (a guy who has succeeded in the minors and is major league ready) is worth more than two in the bush (a more highly regarded prospect who has to run the gauntlet of the minors for a couple of years)?    That's the only logic I see.    But when we don't have room for the 'ready' guy, that logic doesn't apply.

I'd keep him in case one of Davis/Trumbo gets hurt, but I'd explore other options. The Mets would be a good idea, because Mancini could probably out hit Duda.
