    AND


    Velasquez


    Would you deal VV for a guy like Altuve or McCutcheon?

    In a moment if I could find someone to give me that for him.

      I have a guy who wants VV and one of my catchers, Castillo or Montero I need steals I'd prefer Altuve, but I Wouldn't blanch at McCutcheon.

        I mean, Velazquez is a top prospect and has pitched well, but I'd do that in a milli-second.

              Like I just PM'd you, I'd do that and not look back. If VV ever comes into your casino, give him a hi-five!

                  I would trade those guys for McCutchen.

                        I would pull the trigger because you have a great staff without him.

                        I think V V is going to be great, but you have to give to get. Since he put Bradley in to the mix any chance you could get Altuve?

                              2015 Vincent Velasquez: 25.1% SO, 9.1% BB, 2.2% HR -- 3.46 FIP, 4.37 ERA
                              2016 Vincent Valesquez (since April 19th): 23.1% SO, 8.8% BB, 4.4% HR -- 4.79 FIP, 4.93 ERA

                              Those first two starts of the year were utterly dominant. But since then he's been... well he's pretty much been Vincent Velasquez if not a little worse than what we expected coming into the year. If you sold high (like Doig), you were smart*
