Hey Mack
First you have to know
I’m from Europe so please forgive all my gramatic fails.
I visit your site daily
because I really appreciate your opinions, so I’m interested what you answer on
my question.
What do you thing about the Padres as
potential trade partner? I looked at
their roster and saw they have a few young outfielders! So my idea. Trade
Dickey for Kyle Blanks or Will Venable who are both very young and can maybe
still develop.
+ Brad Boxberger for the pen
+ Austin Hedges or Cory
Spangenber (both positions the Mets need)
Do you think this is a
package a Dickey trade could bring in?
And I think a problem
is that the Padres are not a team which want to win next year so probably they
don’t trade for Dickey.
Hope you will find time
for me :)
Mack: Hey Michi. Of course I have time for you.
The Mets need
outfielders. The secret here is to find a team that has too many of them.
LF Carlos Quenton (.261,16-HR, 46-RBI) is under contract
through 2015. And CF Cameron Maybin (.243, 8-HR,
45-RBI) is locked up through 2016. Lastly, Chris Denorfia
(.293, 8-HR, 36-RBI) has 2013 and
2014 left on his contract before turning into a free agent.
Venable (.264, 9-HR,
45-RBI) is fighting for playing time, and, with Banks finishing up at AAA, you
are correct about this team. They have too many outfielders and everyone could
use a Cy Young winning pitcher.
I don’t think you’d
have any problems getting Banks, but the target here might be Maybin. He still
has never played up to his prospect potential, he’s still young (25), and his
contract isn’t that bad ($3.1m-2013, $5.1m-2014, $7.1m-2015, $8.1m-2016).
