    all-time farmhand swap - Taillon and DGordon for Harper?

    mega farmhand trade offer:

    I think I can get Harper for DeeGordon AND Taillon.
    NL-only 12-team 5x5

    all 3 at a nice 5-S2 price when they come up pre-Sept, and revert to 5-S2 the following season after any short MLB stint the year before, as long as he's still a rookie. can be kept at 5-5-10-15 and out, once the clock starts.

    one other perhaps minor nuance: at the moment I'd have to cut Karsten Whitson on Friday to make room for two new picks (he was drafted by Padres but never signed last summer, so I have only a 16/30 shot of him being picked by an NL team again). If I made the 2 for 1, I could keep Whitson.

    P.S. also own Lyles, Delgado, Singleton, Tate, and Strasburg (5-O in 2012 though)

    Would you make this move to get Harper for up to 4 yrs down the road?

    Gordon might have more value short term due to furlcals injury + rumors of him contemplating retirement, Harper on the other hand, you will control him for the next 4 hrs, thus will be the better value

      depends on what you need in the near future. Gordon has a shot of getting called up this season, but Harper is tough to pass on. It's essentially Harper and Whitson for taillon and Gordon. I like the deal if you can make it.

      BTW, Tate is hurt again-- ran into another player but isn't going to be out long, which is good. he's starting to play to expectations.

        I would definitely make the trade. As a power hitter, Harper is as close to a sure thing as you can find. Taillon has great stuff, but hasn't even thrown a pitch as a professional. Gordon has some speed, but doesn't have a great overall offensive game. Get Harper.

          Agreed, I would do this deal too and I am a Gordon owner. You can always fill the minor league spot with someone anyway.

            I would do it too, without even thinking. Gordon is still very, very raw and Taillon is a LONG way away. Harper is money in the bank, even if you don't hang onto him, he's primo trade baite.

              Judge, this is a rebuilding year for you, right?

              And you are going to give up D Gordon and Taillon, both of whom you would have years and years of control over? I would think you would want to stockpile the mega farm guys in exchange for bloated major league contracts, so you can have a pipeline for many years down the road for your 1 rebuild.

                You need to get Harper for those 2 if you can.
                After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

                  Well, I get up to 4 years of control over any of them, regardless of when they actually arrive for good.

                  Agree that perceived value is in play - if I trade these two for Harper, and Harper winds up being a worse buy except that I can trade him for even MORE, then I could win anyway.

                  I may see if this guy was really serious...

                    Go get Harper!

                    There are good prospects, there are very good prospects, every once in a while there are World Class Prospects. Harper and Trout are two of these. You have a chance to get one. Happy hunting!

                      "I was just joking," he replies.

                      Guh.

                      Asking for Halladay, Hanson, Taillon and Gordon is just joking, I informed him..
