The Marlins are officially selling. Tanner Scott for Povich?

No. Our best SP prospect who we will need in the rotation next year with Burnes and Means gone.

I doubt DeLeon is in the rotation next year.

Povich may not be the best pitching prospect on his own team. He’s just off to a better start than McDermott.

I’m with you on improving the bullpen, but Tanner Scott isn’t the answer. His early results this season suggest he’s in for a major regression from last year. 

[Sports Guy]

The poor K rate for Scott really bothers me too

I would trade Povich for him all day. Probably makes sense to throw Baumann in too. 

Baumann has basically zero trade value.

It’s some Splenda to sweeten the deal.

Yeah, the fact someone is willing to throw in Baumann on a deal that's already an overpay tells you that even he doesn't think Baumann has any real value.

Two for the price of one!

I was going to joke Scott's ERA isn't high enough like Shintaro Fujinami's but learned just now despite bad peripherals he has a good ERA.

Seems he's lost whatever command he found last year for a minute, but I think the GM's just watching pitch metrics don't care about ERA noise in 10-inning samples.

Stuff+ considers his fastball one of the game's elite pitches, and he's left handed.   It is just that simple, and for Peter Bendix who gives him the best deal.

All the Dylan Cease observations about Chris Getz taking on risk holding him even a few more appearances pertain here too.

I saw some video last night Arraez was warming up pregame when the news broke, so there was a round of hugs on camera in early May.

Would you guys be willing to get Chisholm if they want to deal him? Seems like a ton of potential and maybe if he gets out of Miami, it will click for him? 

[Orioles West]

No to the trade idea.

And wow, this may be the first Hangout Unification thread I’ve seen in a while.

Early results where 98+ percent of us AGREE on something!

For what position?  Bats aren’t something we are lacking or need.

Of course, I was one of the few posters who had big reservations about trading Eduardo Rodriguez (who was having a mildly down year in AA) for Andrew Miller (who was having a great year for Boston).   So of course I’m not going to like trading Povich (who is tearing up AAA) for Scott (who has upside but is having a down year for Miami).   Generally, I’m not a fan of trading 6 years of a potentially good starting pitcher for one partial year of a reliever.   I’m not saying I’d never do it, but it would take a lot of convincing, especially since our org isn’t chock full of good starting pitcher prospects.

Good Lord, no.

Hrmm, maybe I could start a Gunnar Henderson for Kevin Kiermaier thread and see what kind of results I get!

There's a big difference between having an ERA below 2 in low A vs AAA.  Let's cool the jets on De Leon until he proves something at a higher level.

It’s still not cool to downvote a guy just because you don’t like his opinion.  All he was doing here was asking a question.
