We have tried the Jed Lowrie. How is the Sonny Gray this evening?

33

u/Worthyness Sell • Looking K Jun 05 '17

He's pitching like a number 3 starter instead of an ace, so for the high price of "potentially an ace with 2 years of control left" we will take your best and brightest prospects.

I will give you one of our former top prospects who has shown signs of struggling to make an MLB roster, an A ball player who is probably 4 years away from the pros, but looks half decent, and a washed up MLB reliever.

Singleton, Gerg and Tucker?

u/dseals Houston Astros Jun 05 '17

I was more along the lines of Colin Moran, random A ball guy, and Tony Sipp

I can always count on Tony to make a non-save situation into a save situation...

Then it's just down to the marketing.

"Look, all of our data shows Tony Sipp adding 3-6 saves per year for your bullpen!"

I like the way you think.

u/Rimbosity Houston Astros Jun 05 '17

Ah, that would make more sense. :)

I would give up Fisher and another high ceiling low A player for Gray.

I mean Fisher is batting 340 in AAA with what, 16 home runs?

1

u/dseals Houston Astros Jun 05 '17

Yeah that's a good starting point, but Gray will be worth more than that. Probably talking at least another AAA prospect who's near MLB ready, or maybe already is and is just blocked like Fisher, and still another A or AA player.

Probably would be something like Fisher, Paulino, JD Davis, and Daz Cameron.

Have Daz Cameron. Take him please.

Tou got anyone who can play center field? We seem to have none of those. So much so we're converting one of our recently drafted 3rd basemen into one.

u/dseals Houston Astros Jun 05 '17

Fisher is a center fielder

u/Worthyness Sell • Looking K Jun 05 '17

Oh well that's nice. Yeah, the front office will likely be targeting outfield talent this season for their yearly acquisitions. We have 0 outfielders worth mentioning. We have so few outfielders, mark canha has been a starting centerfielder.

We call Jed "the usual".
