Trade Offer Made


Hero's get
4th and 8th pick in the 2013 draft

Brob would get
SP Tim Lincecum - coming off a bad year but the K rate is still really good and young enough (mid 20's) to be part of the youth movement that you have going on.  Plus if he returns to 2008-2011 form you have one of the 10 best SP's  in the game.

OF AJ Pollock - Grade B-: Fourth outfielder profile, does a lot of things pretty well, can steal a base, hit for a decent average, play good defense. Won't hit many homers.

SP John Lamb - Grade B-: I'm always careful with Tommy John grades, since the recovery is not as automatic as people think. Retains mid-rotation upside if health allows.

SP Ariel Pena - Grade B-: Another component of the Greinke trade, Pena throws very hard and has a good slider, but gets into trouble when he leaves his pitches too high in the strike zone. He sagged after the trade and is something of an enigma. You can draw a scenario where he becomes a number three starter, or one where he becomes a closer, or one where he becomes nothing.

SP Charlie Lowell - Grade B-: Good fastball/changeup combination, still working on slider and had some command wobbles in High-A. If that improves, can be a three/four starter or a nice relief option.

OF Marc Krauss - Grade C+: Good Double-A power numbers and drew tons of walks, but was helpless in Triple-A and is already 25 now. Probably a role-playing platoon bat with power.
