    why give him up for this guy? (*unless theres a ton of prospects, cash, and other incentives involved....and even then..nah.)
    Yes he is a 20/20 guy and possibly a 30/30 guy!!!

    But you got Reddick 3 more years, Springer 2-3 at least....

    And Tucker should be up in 2-3 for a long term solution.

    But man I agree Tucker and Fisher long term in our OF is dynamite.

      The Garrett Cole deal is done....waiting on details!!!

      I am afraid I will be disappointed, as the Pirates wanted Tucker or Whitley

      Comment


        11:26 - Jeff Passan (yahoo sports) tweeted his sources say the deal is NOT done completely, and Cole has yet to be notified 'hes on the move' .

        also..no details on what the deal would be other than possible salary.

              LOL Ok.....

              My good buddy is a part time baseball agent who works for a big sports agency. So he gets updates and such that I am sure you don't

              He said he was told it is pretty much done and working on financial part and the finishing touches.

                    That depth is a nice thing to have, esp when our guys are not known for staying healthy. I really like the way Lunhow Works

                        He does it part time as he just left his collegiate baseball job for a new job outside of coaching collegiately, bc he started a family.

                        He works for an agency and does the recruiting and scouting. Not a full blown agent. This is a side job for him at the moment.

                          Good question. Like i just said he is not an agent so to say, but works for a sports agency.

                          Another guy he knows, an ex-MLB player also does it and he is a coach for a D1 in Central Texas. He beat him out for the slightly higher position as his MLB experience is a big plus. I am not sure what this other guy does for them

                              I am ok with that. Moran is expendable and weak defense

                              Paulino should be an MLB starter, but hasnt shown it yet and has PED usage clowded over him

                              Fisher will be an above avg OF IMO

                                I think the addition of Cole could be a great step for us. Good pitching beats good hitting!
