Plus he gets zunino and erasmo who are two good legit prospects, I realize I'm ahead of the rest of the league in scouting but you'll know who erasmo is in a month
And revere is not a bad player, he gets steal
And Scutaro is a rock solid utility player that can be used in three different positions
Alright, listen.
Zunino hasn't hit since he moved up to the Triple A level. It's well documented. He feasted on A and AA pitching, got the bump, and flatlined. Now that doesn't mean he wont' hit, just means he's hitting in the .230's at a lower level, and doesn't project for much more than AB's and power potential for now. Nobody has him in the top 20 catches ROS. Nobody.
Erasmo is a legit prospect with K potential this season, but save us the "my scouting" you've jumped on every prospect brought up to the bigs this season, kicked the tires, and moved on to the next one. Erasmo is legit, and has frontline potential, and we all know it because Yahoo! has been talking about him for the last two months. Not to mention rotoworld, ihateprospects and the rest.
So that's ONE good prospect. a one-cat outfielder, a medium prospect, garbage, and draft picks for a grip of players all easily in the top 100, a few of which are top 50.
The trade sucks. It's complete bullshyt and you know it. You just want it to happen.
All that being said, I don't blame you - Red is the one essentially cashing-out this season. And while you're culpable, he's equally so.
Save the bullshyt about assets, this is about knowing how the league works, and not knowing. Knowing the actual value of picks and players and not knowing.
If the trade goes through, I'm fine with it... because there doesn't appear to be collusion of any kind. It's just a plainly bad trade.
