Britton and Brach are both way more valuable then Phelps. Britton especially 

But it also needs to be pointed out that Britton is way more expensive. Britton makes 11.4 million. Phelps makes 4.6 milion. Now a team desperate for WS like the Dodgers may not care too much but in most deals you have to think about the value/cost ratio.

Come on, Britton is an elite RP and one of the best closers in the game. It's not even close. He will command a haul or we won't deal him. He won't be dealt for a package even close to this lol. Think some of you are overthinking it.

Little worried about Brach as Phelps is relatively close to his territory, but honestly I don't think this package is bad. If we could have got Neidert instead of Hernandez (although I would have been cool with Hernandez and maybe one other solid guy like maybe Joe Rizzo I would have been very happy. 

Miller looks to me like he should be a very solid #4. That's not exciting but we haven't had good back of rotation arms in forever. Not always going to get future aces in these deals, there's no exactly many that project that way unless yo uare getting an 18 yr old that is basically a blank canvas with high velocity and nasty stuff at times.

Doubt any of the arms are a guy like Neidert. A guy like Povse/Miller could be involved though.

Relievers are valuable.

It's a year an a half with a stairway to heaven twice.

David Phelps isn't as good as Brach let alone Britton.  Orioles will get a nice haul for either if they choose to sell.  

I do expect both of them to haul in more, in Britton's case, quite a bit, more than than Phelps no question. However, based on the trades for Phelps, Frazier/Kahnle/Robertson and Martinez the returns have been fairly underwhelming in general so far. The Quintana deal has been the only one where the team dealing got a really nice return out of it.

Dodgers, Cubs, Nats don't give a hoot about a contract like Brittons.

Wow is that terribly underwhelming. Not a single guy in the top 10 of a poor system. Time to temper those expectations.

 Hernandez would be in the 8-12 range for our system, Lopez would be a 10-15 guy (he's had a strong A+ season, arguable better than Akin at the same age), Miller and Schraldi are old for their level but have had good preformance, they'd be top 30 guys for us.

So no big impact prospect, but two very solid players.  I'd hope to get a little more from Brach (and he is a little better/cheaper), probably quality over quantity, but this isn't a nothing return.

I hope we can deal for a new team in the booth. The only duo worse than ours is the Nats tandem of idiots. There is nothing worse than listening to fp santangelo. Bordick gets worse by the game though. His stiffler impersonation ("oh yeah" or "yeah" randomly tossed into every sentence) is ?.

Replace Bordy with Brian Roberts, he did some spring training games and he is much better.

Keep in mind that Mia is looking to shed payroll as they try to sell.  Not exactly trading from a position of strength.

I was trying desperately to not participate in hijacking this thread into a broadcasters thread. Clearly I failed, I could care less who is in the booth. As long as they give our the basic details, count, outs, runners on base etc... that's all I need. Now back to the OP reason for this thread.

For sure oh yeah! That's excellent. Maybe a sign that good things are ahead. I should have wished for something more substantial. Notfast, you bring wonderful gifts and I while can't reciprocate I do greatly appreciate it. ?

Yeah I think most people can block it out, I have to mute the television. It's an illness. 

Back to Britton for the world. ♥️

Or the guy that has a sense of humor and posts tongue in cheek trade proposals.
