Should be an interesting next few days, it's getting hot & crow is in the oven.

It shouldn’t really change the logic though. It’s still the same game, physically. Obviously K’s are way up in recent years but there’s no reason why a strikeout should be worth more or less now than it was in the ‘90s. 

Strikeouts are fascist.

Thanks for the info but how does someone who knows the Povich camp get insider trade info unless Povich is involved in the negotiations/trade.?

I remember you weren't coming back till spring training.  Spring came back early this year.  I can't wait to eat crow when the O's acquire a TOR starter or was it not trading Povich?

You're late, the full moon was yesterday.

Happy holidays anyway.

You're not very smart for thinking a minor leaguer is involved in negotiations.

No one…because no one said Povich is definitely being dealt. This is something he is making up in his own mind.

Seems like Getz is asking for too much. He wanted 5 prospects from the Reds (allegedly) and three of them. Lowder, Arroyo, and Phillips are all top 70 prospects.

Edit for perspective. The Reds have a top farm system and CWS asked for their 2, 3, and 4th-ranked prospects. That's Cowser, Kjerstad, and Mayo for us.

Getz has to snap back to reality. Hopefully the Reds GM laughed and hung up.

Got it.
 

Crow aside, between Povich and McDermott, if we had to part with one, who would everyone choose to keep? The more I see of McDermott, the more I think he could be a number 3 starter. I think trading him for two years of cease would hurt badly.

I'm keeping Povich.  McD may have the higher floor and Povich may flame out early.  But I'm going for the upside hoping Povich harnesses some consistent command.

I’m dealing Povich first and it’s not even a decision for me. 
 

Povich MAY have a higher ceiling but I don’t think it’s that much higher and the floor (especially as a starter) is lower imo.

Yes.  Frobby is a great ambassador for OH but I’m hoping there’s a WhiteSoxSportsGuy to get under his skin over there. LOL

No need, @Sports Guy himself is over there now rumbling away with their top posters. Quite an entertaining 10 pages I just caught up on, most people here can take a guess how it’s going

Good people over there thus far.

Some of them seem to think Joey Ortiz is a nothing prospect because he’s small and older but overall, most of them seem relatively grounded.

A few have a belief that Cease should be treated as if he’s a definitive frontline starter.

I agree. I do enjoy the few who have apparently taken it personally that Elias hasn’t forced a deal by this point, whatever the cost, and they now are hoping for the downfall of our entire organization because of it. Definitely a minority of the comments but some of them seem really pissed off about it.
