I'm not familiar with the Giants' prospects but after losing three starters this season on top of season ending injuries in recent years to Kluber, Clevinger, and Carrasco I'm very reluctant to trade a good young starter who is affordable and under team control for several more years. Look at some of the starters we've had this year and their ERA's. Morgan, Mejia, Allen, Hentges, McKenzie...and none of them ready for the bigs. We should try to go into each season with eight major league caliber starters and pray that will be enough. We can't do that if we trade one or two starters every year.
Look around the league - starters are dropping like flies. There's a reason we drafted 20 pitchers with our 21 picks. Another team outdid us - every pick was a pitcher. Guys like Plesac are worth their weight in gold to a cheap franchise like this.
Unless the trade is based on inside information that Plesac is a head case and they want to move him before his value plummets I say keep him and try to develop six more like him.
Essentially the original Idea is how we could get Bart from the Giants, and if we want to do that, we would have to trade Plesac... Since the Giants are wanting to win over the Dodgers, and Bart is a high prospect, he won't be parted with easily. It's possible we could ask for more than what I or @CDAV45 stated, but Plesac plus a maybe player or two(I did Hernandez) for 4 (+ or - 1) prospects, Including Bart, would be the likely scenario. It's very unlikely it would happen, but if it did, it would be something similar to the style one of us posted...
