Ouch, I undrestand. Went a little crazy there with my geekiness. First time poster though so cut me a little slack. Besides judging by your name we might be fraternity brothers. Were you possibly a Theta Xi at SEMO?

And people wonder why Joe Strauss makes fun of the prospect community.

I think you may be over estimating Huston Street’s value as an injury prone rental. San Diego has top prospects major league ready at 3rd and 1st (Gyorko, and Grandal) so scouting Cox and Adams at Memphis for this trade doesn’t make sense. That’s why I believe players like Jackson, Sanchez, Lyons or Gast could be what they are looking at. Jacksin makes the most sense to me because his solid d plays would play welll with how that team is building to play in that park.

Anyone who wouldn’t trade Taveras for McCutchen is living in prospect la-la-land. Seriously, that’s one of the most asinine suggestions I’ve read all day. McCutchen is cheap, at his peak, signed long-term, and likely a better player right now than Taveras will ever be. In any case, the Pirates aren’t trading him for any price.

FWIW I also think that if we want Street (I, personally, don’t – I’d look for a lefty reliever or starter before I started targetting over-rated closers) the price would be in the region of Matt Adams, or Zack Cox. I wouldn’t do that, personally, but I think trying to fork them over Tyler Lyons, Ryan Jackson or Sam Gaviglio or whatever likely isn’t getting it done.

My guess is there looking at ryan jackson, possibly eduardo sanchez in memphis. Some of the other players mentioned aren’t worth giving up for a huston street rental (adams, rosenthal, cox).

There is no prospect in the Cardinals’ top 20, and probably top 30, that I would remotely consider giving up for Huston Street. What a crazy idea.

Check out Street’s career stats and I think you will hang on to Rosenthal and Adams. We got Furcal last year for a lot less than that . I think he is a decent reliever but not worth a top prospect.

I wouldn’t sell so cheap on Adams; he’s worth a lot more than either one of those guys, although I would love to have Gregerson back.

I’m not trading Oscar for anyone. Yeah McCutchen would be awesome to have but I just couldn’t trade OT. One thing to remember is that OT is six years younger. I also wouldn’t trade Adams for Street. Adams is young, has a bright future and IMO he isn’t blocked by Craig. Craig can move around from 1B to RF while OT plays CF and LF while Holliday gets a day off. But like I said earlier, I’m keeping OT no matter what.
