None, no one. We won't trade for him.

I too preferred that option.

The entire Queensryche discography and a lifetime supply of eight-sided die.

I think a trade is not going to happen this offseason, but if it were it would be because the Orioles agree to include Kjerstad. And if they do, they won’t include much else with him. I’d say that’s still very unlikely.

If the White Sox agree to what the Orioles are offering, I think that will be Westburg or Ortiz, and if Westburg it won’t be with much else (Stowers, Wagner, etc) and if Ortiz it will be with 2 other solid prospects in the Norby/Beavers/Povich/McDermott group. Probably the only way to meet more in the middle is Westburg + a couple of those mid tier names but I think the Orioles may still pass on that.

They must be forced to quote, bump up threads of everyone who wanted Cease when his ERA is near or over 5 and if/when those same people want him out of the rotation. Someone is going to have to do it.

Westburg, Norby, Stowers, DeLeon

Hard to pick a package when Getz is nuts.

Shouldn’t be trading our best pitching prospect.

I picked Cowser + Ortiz + (one of 4 prospects listed).  I would be willing to substitute Westburg for Ortiz if that was a deal breaker.

Stowers is like a random body at this point although I think he could eventually find a home somewhere like Mike Yaz.

It would hurt.  Was trying to be realistic.  They wanted some pitching.  Would think if we include pitching it’d be 2+ years away.

No McDermott or DeLeon.  Give them Povich.  Add in a guy like Stowers if needed.

Tried to put together a solid grouping of legit talent that wouldn’t kill us but would hurt a little.  Stowers is a good player.

I think the WS are probably trying hard for Kjerstad.  To me, Kjerstad is still coming back from myocarditis.  He really only tapped into his power as this season went on.  Last year, a lot of posters thought he had gap power.  I'm guessing from the WS side, they would do Kjerstad, Westburg, Povich right now.  Too much for me and I'm sure Elias.

I looked for Stowers, I guess he used up his rookie eligibility.  He was up in the majors for a while but got few at bats.  He would be in the 25-35 range if he was still a prospect, my guess.
