I do that without blinking. No question. I can live with Evans or Hancock for 3-4 months.

It's either Donovan at this point or Lowe from TB. If it's Lowe they gotta throw in Diaz &/or Cleavinger/Uceta. I'm going down that route. DT what's fair value for those 3. Do you see a viable enough trade package to entice TB to move those 3?

Sounds like the package is gonna involve Laz hell fucking no. He is our top power bat should be off limits. Laz Emerson Sloan Anderson should be the main targets off limits.

You have a better idea.

Would just go with Young and get a rh platoon with Bliss for 2nd and have Emerson and Williamson fight it out for 3rd. Losing prospects like that for Donavan who is really not that good would be embarrassing.

I don't see Laz moving for Donovan. He moves for a player like Marte.

The M's are going to trade from their areas of depth in the farm.

Arroyo, Jurrangelo, Celesten, Peete, McGraw, etc.

Arroyo or Celesten seems like the move to me. That's just my opinion though. There's probably a second prospect as well. These things are typically 2 or 1 or 3 for 1.

[seth8734]

As long as Laz Emerson Sloan and Anderson are off limits it should be ok. Losing a pitcher throwing from both sides might hurt but really shouldent be a lot for Donavan. Jerry better not make a desperate move. Donavan is a b type player not worth our top guys.

Doesn’t mean he isn’t all in, just different opinion than you. No reason to attack a person for his opinion
