Yandy Diaz

[Bil522]

I'm real curious what the price for Yandy would be. When you consider Polanco's health history, Yandy with one year left on his deal might make more sense.

Ok we get it DT. An 18yo better hit .400 with a 1.400 OPS, never make an error in Rookie or A ball, and have 150 sb's or you are trading his ass for a 34yo at the end of his career.

I am not shy about doling out Fuck Offs Bill. Donn Bitch cried and ran away because of it. I wouldn't mind if you did too.

Please.....I work with teenagers with severe behavior disorders every damn school day. If I am not told to Fuck off at least 3 times before 9am, I ain't doing my job right....and I always do my job right.

Now I will concede that Felnin has not been Julio in the minors, but he is making steady improvement while playing. We don't know if he will tap into his athletic ability as he gets a bit older. I will also agree that he needs to take a big leap forward this year, if not he is trade bait but not yet and not for Yandy. Not opposed to Yandy, just not that high of price.

I said upthread that I was curious what the cost for Yandy might be and DT gave me an answer based on the trade values site.

Thanks, yes I was just doing Gabe a favor and Celesten was the first name I came to (the list of players is in alphabetical order) that might make sense based on the Rays willingness to trade for young prospects and that had a value a bit higher than Yandy's. I wasn't advocating for that trade in the least. btw He hit .158/.602 for Everett in a small sample.

Celestin is years away from even being a major league player and is far from a guarantee. It would be a no-brainer to deal him for Diaz who is a .300/25 HR bat, and even if we got him one year too late, how bad could he be? Definitely not Solano or Garver bad. Dude can flat-out rake.

I tend to agree with you but for me it's more about the injury history and wondering if he can even stay on the field long enough to develop. The tools are supposed to be loud though and my guess is they don't want to give up on that quite yet.

I have to ask, what is the story behind your Avatar? You seem like a no nonsense guy but you have the goofiest Avatar on this site. lol

It's one I used years ago and happened to still have the image saved. I have a different one that I like better but the dimensions are wrong and I'm too lazy to edit it.

We have a habit of being too much in love with our prospects even though most of them burn us (especially pretty much the entire Montero/Smoak/Ackley/etc. batch). We look at it like it's either the bird in the hand or the two in the bush when usually there turns out to be nothing in the bush. I don't think it's really "giving up" on him if we're using him to acquire a player who for at least a year or two will make the team better.
