haha lets do lester, kalish, and Brentz for Meyers and Danny Duffy
Could the Royals be that dumb?
I know Duffy got injured but his potential is crazy
Jackie Bradley Junior.... that is all
Package deal for Myers and Gordon.........Go!
It's rubbish. If they are trading him, then they must figure it's better to cash in their chips now. I wish the kid well, but let's not lose our heads here.
Lester between 2008-2011 inclusive was clearly one of the 12 best SP's in the MLB. You don't deal that for a kid, one with concerns (K rates).

Guess who? The future X-Presdent...

I would do a deal like Lester and Brentz for Myers and Lamb.
I agree! I've floated the idea of trading Lester before. However I believe he will be great next season. He could be the best #2 in baseball. If K.C. is throwing in a top pitching spec or Gordon then I'm ok with it. Obviously there would be more pieces..Originally Posted by bagwell368:24473353
So I'm saying Lester straight up for Myers is a big no!
Exhibit A for my posts regarding the younger 1/2 of PSD posters.
I'll take Gordon and Perez, you can have Buchholz, Wilson, Lavarnway, Swihart, Brentz, Jacobs
You like specs so much? Here are 4 that fit between #8-#18, and a #2 SP in that park of yours - and you get to keep Myers - I don't want to overpay for that one.

Price was easily better than Lester in 2011, I don't know how rWAR could possibly have Lester better. He crushed Lester in pretty much every category except era by .02. Much better K rate, BB rate, FIP, fWAR, way more innings pitched. Lester has declined 4 straight years, and you have to wonder if he ever gets back to 2008-2010 form. I think he will bounce back next year, but if he doesn't he will have no value with 1 year left, which is an expensive option year.
I have been against trading Lester because I thought he would be undervalued. Getting one of the best hitting prospects in baseball is terrific value for Lester right now. I'd say a cost controlled player middle of the order power hitter is rarer these days then someone who might bounce back to being a borderline 1st/2nd tier pitcher.
Wil Myers is a better prospect than Xander. I guarantee this forum would be going batshit insane if the Red Sox were discussing trading him to the Rays for James Shields.
And the Royals are not trading Perez. They have him signed longterm cheap, and it's been reported that they won't trade him.

but lester was not a top of the rotation pitcher last year. dont get me wrong, he's good, but not good enough to get a 300 hitter that can potentially hit 30-40 homeruns a year. plus lester will come with less control and a higher price tag. i would think the royals would want someone that is young and has 4-6 years of control still left.
The Sox are going through a full rebuild right?? If you could get a potential stud power bat for an aging number 2 pitcher why wouldn't you ?
"Elite" is just another way to spell "Brad Marchand"
