I think they'd have to be blown away to give up Baez at this point.  And given his injuries, Price ain't it.

[funkster]

Pierce Johnson promoted to Daytona.

[funkster]

Baez 2/3 so far with a single and a HR.  A K too though.

[rok]

So what are the chances that Baez gets a promotion? Seems like now would be the time to start shuffling rosters around in the minors anyway.

[funkster]

I think he'll be with the Smokies in the very near future.

I hate the idea of trading top position prospects for starting pitching. Way too risky, in my opinion.

[rok]

As do I. On the flipside, I'm starting to wonder if we will be on the losing end of the Rizzo/Cashner deal 5 years from now. Has anyone been following how good the latter has been this year and in parts of 2012?

[funkster]

I still don't trust his health.  

[rok]

Me neither, but I wouldn't be quick to judge this one yet.

[funkster]

Other than Price, whose health isn't worth our top prospects, I don't know of any other SPs on the block that would be worth high level guys.

[funkster]

Baez with a HR and an RBI single so far.  Now tied for FSL lead in HRs.

[rok]

Time for a promotion.

[funkster]

Yeah I'd say its coming soon.  Almora with a HR too.

[funkster]

Concepcion done for the year with a back injury.  I'd say he's going to end up being a sunk cost.

[rok]

Yeah, has he even pitched at all this year?
