We’d get an ace with a couple of years of team control for an A prospect (Myers) and probably a B prospect or two. It depends on if this happens or not, but if he is available, I would pull the trigger.

Stay the course. Don’t Mortgage the future for instant gratification. I want multiple championships not a fluke appearance in the post season. I want the fear of God struck in fan bases of other teams and other fans when they see the next series is vs the Powder Blue Bombers of KC.

Then you better work your butt off to get an extension signed.

They look like they are going to be in contention, so I don’t know if I’d risk it or not.

And, of course those would be Price’s 3.5 most expensive years. He’s getting $4.35M in 2012 which is his Arb1 year. That will be followed by three increasingly expensive arb years.

Myers MLB production would still be an unknown, so there’s risk there. Price wouldn’t be cheap. The years and dollars count. And of course there’s always injury risk for both, but more for a pitcher.

If most, or all, of them are crapping the bed in the minors, and the MLB team otherwise looks like it’s performing well (i.e. no major dropoffs and some significant improvements in the lineup), then I’d be in favor of the trade.

Let the young guys develop and keep the farm system intact to reload in the next few years.

Only way I make that trade is if there is a glaring hole in the starting rotation, and if all our pitching prospects (Monty, Duffy, Odorizzi, Crow, Arguelles, Dwyer) are struggling.
