Ok, that makes sense.  Only RP I remember you ever really voicing any displeasure with was Bedrosian.  He was your Fernando Salas.

It's going to be interesting when we find out why he left.

Normally it is. But this one is Strad’s baby so he gets to run with it.

I’ll come in and clean up his mess when/if it’s necessary.

Autocorrect really blows sometimes.

Marcus Stroman said he'd buy Triston McKenzie a Rolex if he throws over 160ip with a 3.7ERA or lower...... 

So yeah..... that alone is worth an Adell trade.

[AngelStew43]

NO!  Not near enough for Adell, IMO.  Marsh, either.  I think we should leave the OF alone, and let the two of them play.  

If we need another P after the lockout, we can always sign a FA, until Detmers, Bachman, Rodriguez, Soriano, etc. are ready.

McKenzie is a true beanpole at 165lbs and standing 6'5". Intriguing to me because he has yet to fill out his frame and still started 24 games last season. I know almost nothing about the guy but young pitching with club control is damn hard to find in trade.

@Inside Pitch any insights into this guy's potential to develop into a true mlb mid to top rotation pitcher?

[Docwaukee]

I'm only trading Adell for a guy with true TOR upside.  Not sure McKenzie has that.  That said, if the trade happened I could live with it. 

But I like Adell's monster ceiling better.  Can't wait till he's like 26.
