I would be comfortable giving up quite a bit for Felix. Not gonna happen though.

Exactly. Rosenthal seems to have that “Cardinal’s pitcher” feel to him. Martinez has such a high ceiling. Miller looks that part. Jenkins is exciting, but is a bit away from the bigs and has the biggest bust factor.

I am far from giving up on him. I just would prefer to keep the other 3 if we are trading any of them

Trading him to get something we need is not the same thing as giving up on him. Beyond some quality threshold (Greinke? Felix? Wandy?), trading for a starting pitcher is going to require giving up some serious quality from the farm system in return, something that it will be painful to give up. If the need for a starter is so great that the trigger must be pulled on such a deal, which one of those four guys would you pull it on? I’m with PJ: I’d pick Jenkins in a flash, simply because he’s the one of the four who’s farthest from the majors, has the farthest to go before he reaches his enormous potential, and has the largest possibility of things going wrong. That doesn’t mean that I’d be happy doing it, or that I’d be giving up on him.

If he is part of a package for King Felix, I’ll learn to live with it.

Plus you got to like tremendously athletic pitchers with a live fastballs like Jenkins.

It’s to early in Jenkins career to give up on him. He’s only 19 years old and has an unlimited ceiling upside to him. He’s still very raw but has great stuff.

If we were to trade one of our top 4 pitchers (Miller, CMart, Rosie, Jenkins), I would definitely prefer it to be Tyrell.

So far so good I should say. Our depth at 3rd in the minors is very encouraging between Wisdom, Kelly, Cox, and Piscotty

I just noticed him myself. I’ll take the zero walks. How many IP did Maness go before his first BB this season?
