Farm System - funkster - 05-19-2015
Good news.
I suggest all stay off the BN comment section regarding Schwarber. There is a guy arguing they trade him for Syndergaard (not sure why he thinks the Mets need him), because Syndergaard is a proven TOR guy in MLB (after what, three starts?) and because top college hitters over the past ten years haven't done much when theyve gotten to the majors despite minor league success.
Farm System - jstraw - 05-19-2015
The Mets aren't trading Syndegaard. wtf
Farm System - jstraw - 05-19-2015
I looked in over there. The stupid question is "would you trade Schwarber for Syndegaard?"
Well, yes.
On what planet do the Mets make that trade?
Farm System - VanSlawAndCottoCheese - 05-19-2015
Two starts.

Just supplying information.

Some guy on Bleacher Report this morning suggested a deGrom/Plawecki for Castro/Vogelbach/Alcantara trade. That seems a little lopsided in favor of the Mets. These proposals are not rooted in reality.
Farm System - nakedman1664 - 05-19-2015
In the comments a couple of Mets fans said Arrieta is a back of the rotation starter.
HA!
Farm System - VanSlawAndCottoCheese - 05-19-2015
To be fair, the article also proposed RP Rafael Montero going to the Cubs as part of that 3-for-3 trade, plus Plawecki is a highly regarded prospect. Still, taking on pitching and giving up offense is typically the riskier move.

Still would be a tough one to swallow given that deGrom is essentially a #3, and the pieces going their way still have higher projected ceilings.

Maybe they would put Schwarber at SS?
I don't know, young arms still make me nervous. He's already had elbow issues.

I'm not saying I would make this trade, but, I have no problem trading Vogelbach to help our team. He is a man without a position. If another team is willing to fill a current need of ours in order to get Vogelbach then I trade him and not feel bad about his ceiling one bit. In our organization, his ceiling is much lower than in another organization.
Farm System - rok - 05-19-2015
I don't disagree on Vogelbach at all. However, if we do trade him, hopefully it is to an AL team in order to maximize his value.
