I dont know off hand which guys those would be but I would assume they could fetch us like a Ray or Walker from last year. Which should still help us but probably not that main guy we may need (ie Scherzer or Bryant).

Logue was just player of the week in AAA too. He must have something going good there.

Pitching was fantastic tonight. Stripling is just rolling.

McGuire.

He always had the bat, never know - he could turn into a legit starting catcher.

Wasn't he terrible in the minors? He's been a different guy in the Major Leagues.

he was always known for his bat, a high draft pick, sometimes it takes catchers a little longer. Really like what I'm seeing

It’s a mirage.

He was never known for his bat he was known for his defense.

Agreed, and if he can get you a bullpen arm, deal him.

100%. That’s the type of BP trade that I would be in favour of. Just don’t want any serious assets going out unless we are getting serious assets back with control.

That's what I've been saying all along. I don't want to deal SWR, Groshans, Martin, Martinez, Moreno, etc unless we are getting something very significant, with control back. But when we have such a deep minor league system, you can trim the fat and get some BP help back.

I never checked his scouting report but always assumed he was a bat first catcher since he was drafted 14th overall. That's pretty high for a catcher - I just checked his scouting report and his bat was rated average, d was rated plus so you are correct.

His comp....Kurt Suzuki
