Straily and Griffen are going to cost tons - definition of cost controlled good young pitching etc etc etc that ends up making Billy Bean look like the second coming when he makes a trade. To be quite honest I really don't see them as true upgrades either over anything that we already have.
It's going to take some pretty strong spec's to trade for Myer's (atleast one of Sanchez, Synder or Osuna) after the year Romero's had.
If you had Will Myers would you trade him for a pitcher coming off a trainwreck season and mediocre specs? The specs would have to be the centerpiece here not Ricky.
