Giancarlo Stanton
I'm bored, and I saw them bantering about on the Sundeck what it would take to get him, and thought it might make for some interesting proposals.
They think the conversation starts with Hamilton. I don't do the deal if it does. According to the Cincinnati Reds website, here are their top 20 prospects: 1. Hamilton 2. Stephenson 3. Cingrani 4. Corcino 5. Gregorius 6. Travieso 7. Lamarre 8. Lotzkar 9. Soto, Neftali 10. Wright, Ryan 11. Buckley, Sean 12. Greene, Brodie 13. Romano, Sal 14. Winker, Jesse 15. Cisco, Drew 16. Rodriguez, Henry 17. Rosa, Gabriel 18. Waldrop, Kyle 19. Rodriguez, Yorman 20. Garrett, Amir I'm surprised Donald Lutz isn't on there. But oh well. First off, I'd consider trading them Chapman, and not Hamilton. I'd love to not trade either. But if I trade them Chapman, then the rest of the compensation won't be that much. 1. Offer them 1 of either Leake/Bailey. If they're trying to keep down payroll, they choose Leake. 2. Ondrusek, Stubbs (throw-in). 3. Stephenson, Corcino, Gregorius, Lamarre, Lotzkar, Soto, Lutz, Yorman Rodriguez, Juan Duran.

Re: Giancarlo Stanton

Heisey, Mesoraco, Corcino, Soto and Lotzkar for Stanton and Rob Brantley

Re: Giancarlo Stanton
What if the Marlins would accept Chapman and Hamilton straight up for Stanton? Would you do that deal?

Re: Giancarlo Stanton
Hamilton and Bailey as the centerpieces. Or Chapman alone as centerpiece.
Otherwise it would be too easy for another team that wants him to top the Reds offer. |

Stanton isn't worth that. He's good but that's a ransom.

Re: Giancarlo Stanton
I really believe Chapman will be going somewhere.
To the Reds starting rotation that is! LOL |

Re: Giancarlo Stanton
I go back and forth. I really want to see Billy Hamilton play for the Reds. But if Hamilton and a couple of other good prospects could get Stanton, I'd really have to consider it.
And if we could get Fowler to leadoff to go along with it.............I don't think I'd be too upset.

I'd hesitate more about dealing Chapman than Hamilton, in general. But I would lose zero sleep about making either one the centerpiece for a Stanton deal. Both? I'd have to think about that for awhile...
