Not sure what sort of ROI people are expecting with Luke.

Stanton plus prospects.

We'd more than likely have to trade our entire roster + George Brett.

**** it. I'm in!

Dont want Aviles back but its almost worth it if u can give away Hochevar for next yr

I'm not advocating Luke for Aviles. It was mentioned to me by a buddy of mine.

I wouldn't be upset with it though.

Ergh, a .687 OPS with a .9 WAR?

Mediocre is miles better than Getz, I suppose.

However, knowing Dayton and his love for a terrible .OPS, he'll probably attach some B-level prospect to the deal which will invoke the wrath of us all.

Just thinking of viable options not named Kendrick or Wong.

This is what has me scared out of my mind as a fan of this team\org... that our GM is completely ****ing incompetent... so I have no faith that anything will get done.... In fact, I know he will do something desperate and stupid that hurts us in the long run.

An intradivision trade with our competing team involving a player we've already released? Yeah, that has a snowball's chance of ever happening.

I think you over-read the part where my buddy mentioned it to me.

I don't foresee it happening either, but I brought it up for conversation purposes.

Assembling Howie Kendrick Trade Packages

Quote:

If the Royals aren't selling, as Passan tweeted yesterday, there's a good chance they're looking to add talent to their 25-man roster. Their weaknesses have been glaring all season long, with second base and outfield the problem areas.

They also have a good amount of starting pitching depth, which is what they'd likely dip into to acquire another bat. With Danny Duffy (pictured) in Triple-A after returning from Tommy John surgery, he'd likely be the next in line if the Royals were to need a starter. Felipe Paulino is also on the comeback trail from the same surgery.

They're not short in top pitching prospects either. Yordano Ventura and Kyle Zimmer, two potential front-line starters, could each push for a rotation spot by next season.

The point is they can trade their current "sixth starter" Duffy, who was starting to establish himself as a pretty good major league starter before the elbow injury, and still feel secure with the pitching depth they have.

And they'd be all set at second base through 2015 if they were to acquire Kendrick for Duffy, Johnny Giavotella (.805 OPS, 7 HR, 7 SB), who doesn't appear to be in Kansas City's future plans, and right-hander Kyle Smith, who is having a breakout season in High-A (2.85 ERA, 104.1 IP, 93 H, 29 BB, 96 K).

Royals get: 2B Howie Kendrick

Angels get: 2B Johnny Giavotella, RHP Kyle Smith, LHP Danny Duffy

They have the Orioles, Rockies, Tigers and A's as other teams they put trades together for.

Passan's proposal is about what I'd expect and it would be fair value for both teams.

I would still prefer to keep Duffy over Ventura assuming he is healthy.
