A bullpen guy in the majors would have quite a bit more value than an everyday player in the minors.

Let's trade Veras for Buxton then. :smug: Twins will surely agree to it. The bullpen guy will surely have more value to them than the top prospect in the game.

Arizona sure thought a bullpen guy was worth the #72 prospect didn't they?

By "numbers", Edwards has a bigger chance of busting then the top 4.

You're right, we could get more than Buxton for Veras.

The point wasn't the "numbers" of whether Edwards had a bigger chance of busting, it was the value of a bullpen pitcher that you were speculating was all that Edwards would be.

You have problems with reading comprehension don't you?

I don't know, seeing as your sentence lacked basic punctuation such as commas in proper places.

So missing punctuation means that you somehow translate a major league bullpen pitcher having more value than an everyday minor league player into I think the Cubs could trade Veras for Buxton??

Um, ok. That is some solid logic there.

What, he is a prospect? An everyday major league prospect trumps a bullpen prospect. What argument are you trying to make?

Ryan Braun just got booed bad in his first plate appearance. Hendricks struck him out. That makes me happy. I dont give a shit Braun took roids. I always thought he was a ****** with a ****** face.

Seeing the line up it seems that Valbuena has been seeing the #2 spot in the line up allot. Also seeing a 3-5 of Rizzo, Ruggiano and Schierholtz. I believe they should stick with it and start Ruggiano in LF with Lake in CF.

Even though Lake hitting .091 really is not really justifying a starting spot.

Had to run a rough line up right now:
Bon CF
Valbuena 3B
Castro SS
Rizzo 1B
Ruggiano LF
Schierholtz RF
Castillo C
Barney 2B

Ruggiano: .583 2 HR 7 RBI

Sweeney .083
Lake .167 now.

Think we can start an argument on Ruggiano playing LF every day now.

No.

Sign Carlos Zambrano to play there.

That came from a writer because the tigers lost a OF due to injury and he thinks schierholtz would be a good replacement.

If they can get something good I'd be fine with them moving him. I'm not saying it has to be a top 100 prospect but something close to that ballpark would be nice.
