Reasonable Trade Discussion

[Eli]

Have we gone over thought son Marcell Ozuna?  I don't really feel like back through this but am wondering what the thought is on him?  I'm guessing The Marlins would be looking for some pitching back but I wouldn't mind seeing The Cubs take a flier on this kid.

He's not a leadoff hitter and his defense may turn out to be major league average in CF.  Would The Marlins ask for more than he may be worth right now?

The whole Thought Son?

I seriously stared at Thought Son for like a full minute trying to figure out what the hell he meant by it before I realized it was a typo.

Should of been "thought sun".

This is as much thought as Ozuna merits, son.

You're probably right.  4-win 24 year olds who hit 23 home runs in the majors with a 115 wRC+ and play a fairly premium defensive positions where The Cubs need help grow on trees.

The tree that grows guys with 90 OPS+ should be cut down.

If Ozuna was a Cub you'd be talking about how they shouldn't trade him for Shelby Miller.

I strongly support acquiring Ozuna and flipping him for Shelby Miller.

I strongly support acquiring Ozuna for Chris Coghlan and Travis Wood and flipping him for Shelby Miller.

RV basically suggested we stop replying to Fork's posts and I can't say he's wrong.

I think he was trying to give you a promotion with this fringe organization.  Maybe he likes the cut of your jib.

I would be fine with the Cubs looking into Ozuna, but his value seems to be way too dependent on his power. He never walks, OBPs have been pretty bad. Doesn't really fit the profile of the guys Jepstink really like to go after.

Yeah, he's not ideal.  If he was 25 and ideal, he wouldn't be available.  Like I said, he's not a lead off hitter but he's young and he can play a very good CF.  He hits for power and is an athlete with plenty of years of team control left, thanks to The Marlins fucking around with him last year.

His batted ball stats look somewhat interesting from 2014 to 2015.  I wouldn't be happy to give up anything very substantial but he has value.  What is it?

Ozuna for Miller would actually be a decent trade.

Damnit, I can't stop thinking about this as it makes some sense.  The Braves have Markakis and Oliverra in the corners already, which is why Soler may not be a fit for them anyway.

The Braves probably don't want to deal Miller to a division rival, as they both seem to be in similar places in the win cycle.

I'm sure it would take more than Ozuna to get Miller.

Under the "tutelage" of Marlins' hitting coach Barry Bonds, Ozuna will hit 80 HRs next season anyway.

Bonds is gonna be all like, "You ever heard of steroids, man?" and Ozuna will be like, "No I haven't" and Bonds will be like, "Here take some" and then Ozuna will be amazing.

Soler/Baez for Carrasco/Chisenhall?

It mentions there would have to be more...maybe adding Almora?  I think I might be all right with that deal.

Holy shit.  When does Spring Training start?

[Oleg]

Another rumor...Baez's BMI to The Rays?
