Nobody had heard of Kaminsky until today and now everyone's apeing the media calling it "highway robbery" and "A great bargain."
From an MLB standpoint, it entertains the shit out of me when people pretend to know anything about minor league prospects before they lycos'd or askjeeves'd them.
Kaminsky in Akron right? 2.09 ERA in advanced A ball.
Speak for yourself...some people follow the minors more than they do MLB...
Cespedes...who will get him?
Cleveland! Why not?
Because he's overrated and a rental
We are off contract with Moss @$6.5m now, will be off with Swisher and Bourn for $28.5m after the next two years.Because he's overrated and a rental

Why not add and pay a game changer a good chunk of that amount per year on a real long term contract. We have otherwise a great pipeline, just not a true power hitter.
And if not Cespedes, who can we get before the deadline?
I'd rather have Puig than Cespedes by a large margin. Cespedes is a below average outfielder, with below average plate discipline, is about to turn 30, and is looking for a big contract. At least Puig has had stretches of being an elite hitter during his young career.I don't think Yoenis is overrated to be honest.
Having a great year offensively, although he still doesn't draw a lot of walks. Great arm in the outfield.
I'm just not interested in giving up young talent for a rental when we're seven games under .500 in late July.
Now Yasiel Puig on the other hand... he is extraordinarily overrated.
