Guerrero just finished a full season in A+ so he'll be off to AA next season.<br /><br />A couple prospect for prospect swaps I would consider fair:<br /><br />If the Pirates lose Russell Martin...Plawecki for Josh Bell or Austin Meadows.<br /><br />If the Astros are concerned with Jason Castro...Plawecki for Houston OF Domingo Santana<br /><br />If the Nationals are concerned with Wilson Ramos' health... Plawecki for OF Michael Taylor<br /><br />Or Plawecki for the best available pitching prospect.<br /><br />Pretty sure about 20 teams out there have question marks at catcher<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11725319257895463624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-35965357558181533502014-10-06T12:00:24.311-04:002014-10-06T12:00:24.311-04:00Thunder -

Future infield featuring Seager, Cano & DJ Pederson. Outfield with Austin & Alex Jackson, Gabe Guerrero & Austin Wilson plus several other role players like Dustin Ackley & Brad Miller. Catcher seems to be there biggest concern both now and while they wait. Mike Zunino had 22 HRs this year but hit below .200.<br /><br />I would think we could match up somewhere here if we are trying to trade some major league help for a AA prospect like Guerrero.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11725319257895463624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-65169063984365745652014-10-06T10:35:53.354-04:002014-10-06T10:35:53.354-04:00Chris -

They have Salty behind the plate and they seem to like McGehee at 3B. If you want Ozuna, I would think you would need to offer Nimmo, Herrera & maybe Jayce Boyd which I would do. I'd then sign Murphy to an extension because he deserves it.<br /><br />If you want to trade for a 23 year old outfielder with a 20 HR season under his belt, it's going to cost you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11725319257895463624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-78157287107628489202014-10-06T09:24:42.575-04:002014-10-06T09:24:42.575-04:00No problems with that Boston trade.
