NO ONE is suggesting trading PAUL SKENES.

 

You really love to nitpick.  Must drive your wife and your family crazy.

Where is Skenes rated number 1? Pipeline has Holliday still. I don't subscribe to BA to see theirs.

I saw it somewhere, I don't recall which.  Most sites haven't updated their lists.  Might have been ESPN.  /shrug

I'm just stirring the pot.

Pipelines is updated, they defended why Holliday was kept at 1, Basallo now 13, etc. So at most, he wouldn't be the "consensus" number 1 prospect.

I heard someone say they switch places on the list on Haynie’s radio show last week.  #2, #1 neither one is getting traded.

Lol… No autocorrect. Meant to say, “You are always on top of it as always!”

I’m going to leave that for you to work out.

Can knows who I was talking to. COC - Can of Corn.

Besides the top 3 prospects, who are some prospects you hope we don’t trade?

Creed Willems seems like the type of player that’d be cool smashing a can of Budweiser on his head after a 450 foot home run. Maybe release a couple bald eagles instead of fireworks. 
 

That kind of potential is untouchable in my opinion.

It depends on who we are trading for. Honestly, I don’t want to trade Holliday and I want to keep one of Mayo or Kjerstad. Otherwise, I’m good with trading whichever prospects can get us the pieces that we need to make a WS run. I don’t think it’s a good idea to continue to hedge at this point. If we have designs on multiple pennant runs then we should start taking advantage of present opportunities considering the clock is ticking on Adley and Gunnar.

Povich and McDermott due to gaps in the pipeline. Beavers, Bradfield, and Etzel.
