Would you pull the Trumbo for Skaggs deal then or try to get more from a more desperate team?? I like Skaggs, but so what you're saying is his FB is based on deception... sort of like Weaver and his delivery mechanics.

Turner has really high potential upside. Reason I choose Turner is because his value is down at the moment, that could lean in our favor of getting the Marlins to include Cishek. If we chose Henderson Alvarez, I think that eliminates that possibility, because Alvarez's value is higher than Turner right now. As much as Trumbo strikes out, it really wouldn't be a bad idea if we were able to acquire both for him. Marlins have stated to really be interested in Trumbo, so that can play a factor. Right now the D'Backs have set their eyes on Trumbo, supposedly Tyler Skaggs is up in the air for him. But Skaggs has me worried, he broke into the majors with a fastball that was at 96 mph, but its steadily declining. Right now it sits at 89-90, so that's a hazard to me.

I'd rather trade Mark Trumbo to the Marlins for Jacob Turner and possibly Steve Cishek. With Cishek due for more money, the Marlins will want him off their hands asap. Major reason they let go of Ryan Webb. And for Howie Kendrick, I'd try to trade him to the Royals for Yordano Ventura, Tim Collins and a prospect. Jered Weaver CJ Wilson Yordano Ventura Garrett Richards Jacob Turner And adding Cishek to take over the closer roll would be a huge upgrade.
