Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Yeah I think we're pretty much on the same page.

One thing that we might consider is that the FA SS market might not be as "robust" as we think. Should Correa and/or Bogaerts choose not to opt out of their contracts then that would change things dramatically. I think Turner stays right where he's at and signs a team friendly deal with the Dodgers before this season is over. Remove those 3 and Amed is at or near the top of the SS lists.

I have to say that as good as Amed has played last year and this year there's a legit reason to keep him. Oddly enough it isn't his quality of play that makes Amed appealing as a player to me. It's his attitude and professionalism. It's so fucking admirable and it defies the logic to deal him at times. That's why you won't hear me complain should they extend him. When Tito's talking to a young player all he has to do is point to Amed and tell him no matter what your results are play like that MFer. Yeah, I'm a fan.

I changed my banner so it would be more appropriate.

An interesting deal was posted to the BTV site (KSchit A's/Card's deal) that has some interesting possibilities..

The original "unbalanced" deal has:

A's get Tink Hence, Masyn Winn and Alec Burleson..
Cards get Sean Murphy

I don't think the A's want a SS who can't hit.. or a pitcher that can't throw strikes (Masyn Winn). So, the A's would be inclined to pass on the deal. Likewise, the Cardinals would be thrilled with Murphy, but, not at that price.. They'd want "more".. Two separate deals could resolve the obstacles to the deal..

A's get Tink Hence, Alec Burleson and Ivan Herrera
Cards get Sean Murphy and AJ Puk

-the sean murphy value (should be lower once the season ends) still exists.. however, it is mitigated by the inclusion of the LHRP, Puk..

With the addition of Herrera along with the drafting of Daniel Susac and having Tyler Soderstrom, the A's can then take the one catcher the Guardians want and turn him into:

A's get Gabriel Arias, Richie Palacios and Zach Plesac
Guardians get Shea Langeliers, Denzel Clarke and Robert Puason

A few considerations:
-Langeliers is a ML ready now catcher who can pair with Bo Naylor to form a solid to spectacular tandem of all around backstops.

-The glut of 40 man rostered middle infielders is pared by one..

-The glut of 40 man rostered corner OF'ers is pared by one..

-Only Shea needs a forty man slot, opening two slots.

-Both prospects are very talented with Clarke being a rangy & athletic OF'er & is a cousin to the Naylors while Puason was one of the most heralded IFA's as a SS.. but, tbh, he could play just about anywhere inside the white lines. His speed, arm & stature physically profile as a CF'er or RF'er..

Thoughts?

surprisingly astute conclusion.. considering the first part of the two step deal includes trading Sean Murphy and AJ Puk to the Cardinals..

...just brilliant...

Well I'll send you two buckets since that's how full of crap you are... lol

Either way, A's are not looking to move Langeliers since they will move Murphy. Langeliers will become the main catcher for 23-24 more than likely and maybe into 25, depending on when Soderstrom is ready if he even makes it to the bigs as a catcher...

Murphy gets moved before 23, Langeliers and Bride are the Cs until someone can take their places. If anything Langeliers should be someone they try to extend...

I'm not saying they won't move Langeliers but it will not be until 3-4 years down the line, if not later. It's very possible, if they move out of Oakland he is a guy they extend...
