    I'd be way more comfortable with Upton.

    I would imagine the Reds would be giving up more to get Cabrera, starting with Cozart.

    Where are you guys getting Upton from? Are you just pulling this out of thin air?

    How do Cabrera and Choo fit on payroll just out of curiosity?

    What would Cleveland do with Cozart and Didi though?

    Well, if Gregorius is being sent to Arizona, why not just try to go straight to Arizona and acquire Upton instead of Choo.

    Putting 2 +2 together. Upton available and Dbacks want a shortstop.

    Because the real answer is NO ONE and I mean NO ONE has any idea what our payroll can or cannot fit at this point.

    That's what I've been advocating all along.

    Gregorius, Stubbs and Leake for Upton. DO IT!

    Agreed.

    And re: Upton, yea...just putting pieces together. If AZ is truly involved, which has been confirmed, then Bauer or Upton is likely on the block.

    Choo almost assuredly is not as bad a fielder as last year indicated, as he's not that old, and other seasons he has been more than adequate. He'd clearly be below average in CF, but his bat would of course more than make up the difference.
    His UZR/150 based upon 5000+ defensive innings in RF is -3. That suggests he might be expected to be something like a -10 to -12 defender in CF.

    He's probably going to be projected to be a .360-.370 wOBA type bat.

    So assuming he played 600 PAs in CF, he'd be roughly +26 runs above average offensively versus a generic league average bat, he'd get +2.5 for doing it in center, and he'd get an additional +20 for the difference between replacement and "average".

    So the Reds would be looking at getting a 3.5-4.0 WAR player if they traded for Choo and stuck him in center and he played without significant injury.
    "This isn’t stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
