Lets trade for Preston Tucker

[LAAMike]

CJ Wilson should probably get it done. The Astros have an abundance of young outfielders.

[Chuck]

I suggested this three weeks ago before he was promoted. Still on board.

[Hardc0reFromDaStreetz]

Uhm, he has tore up the minors and is completely annhialating the bigs right now if he continues this hes the rookie of the year. I imagine hes practically untouchable right now in the Astros unless someone came at em with a offer they couldn't refuse and CJ Wilson is easy to refuse. We aint getting preston tucker.

Wrong. Tucker was not even a top 20 prospect of theirs going into this season. The Astros have out him on the block because they're loaded with OF talent.

C.J. Wilson for Tucker is a fair trade, though they may want Santiago.

I'm not sure why they would trade with us in a pennant race. Tucker would certainly be a solution for us but I'm not entirely sure they would do it simply to keep a good option for us off the table.

[Erstad Grit]

Lol at anyone trading anything of value for cj until he is a few months away from the end of his contract.

[Docwaukee]

I think CJ has decent value right now.  

 

I'd love for JD to make a tucker type move.  Maybe not him specifically, but a guy in AAA on the verge of the majors.  

[Hardc0reFromDaStreetz]

does Cj qualify for draft pick compensation when he gets signed by someone else? If that's the case then he has some value.

[Chuck]

LOL at you guys who undervalue C.J. Wilson.

Next year CJ makes more than Price, Wainwright, or Shields is making this year. AJ who is signing one year deals is making less than half. Why would anyone want CJ?

Because he's a good #3 starter on a team contending, who has a plethora of young talent, especially outfield talent.

Price and Wainwright are making more than CJ this year..    Price will likely make more than 20 mil next year.... 

[Docwaukee]

AJ burnett is 4 years older than CJ and has threatened to retire for 4 years in a row and will only place in like one of a handful of places.  

 

CJ Wilson is in his 4th year of a back loaded deal with an AAV of 15mil for age 31-35

 

Burnett made a little more than 75mil for his 31-35 yo and then made 16 and 15mil for his 36 and 37 yo season.  

 

He's a bit overpaid if he's somewhere between the guy we have seen this year and who he was last year.  

 

That said, I doubt the halos trade from the major league club in season.

I wouldn't put it past them Doc with Heaney and Tropeano, both arms who Dipoto and Sosh like a lot. 

[Troll Daddy]

I'd rather trade for Carlos Correa

[Hardc0reFromDaStreetz]

We want anyone on Seattle? That pitching staff is horrible, they getting hammered again today and they were supposed to be good. They could be pretty desperate, id be willing to float them CJ Wilson and they would be buyers right now to try to change their season around.

Nelson Cruz

[eligrba]

Nelson Cruz in an Angels uniform would immediately forget how to hit.

 

I would like to suggest a moratorium on obtaining former Ranger players for a while.

[Erstad Grit]

Would any team today in MLB sign CJ as a FA for a prorated 18 million dollar contract with a 20 million extension for next year?

 

 Hell no. 

 

You want a team to do that AND send a player with value? 

 

Good luck with that.

A few months?  His contract is through 2016.

[VariousCrap]

Oh...I do agree that CJ isn't going to get you a young talent.  At best, you will get a solid OF who has a big contract too (think Ethier).

 

Santiago might get you Preston Tucker though.

Try re-reading my post again and look at every word this time.

CJ for Ethier is actually doable and would be great for both sides, but probably can't happen until Crawford or Puig comes back. 

 

People wanting young talent are crazy.

I simply don't want anymore Wells washed ups.

Why is it that this org is terrible at adding hitters the past several years? We get the washed ups, instead of guys who can actually contribute with any kind of consistency.

Are the org's MLB position player scouts that bad???????
