Ok, guy. I do think Realmuto will fetch a haul. I don’t think Miami will trade Bour because they will hold out for a similar return which they are unlikely to get.
Hey guy...Why are you so freaking touchy every time someone disagrees with you? If you think Bour and Realmuto have the same value then you aren't as smart as you think you are.
Back to actual minor league stuff and not trade speculation... Hope Kemmer gets a callup sometime with Minny. In the GCL today, Kyle Serrano made his 1st 2018 appearance (2nd as a pro) and David Paulino made his 1st rehab appearance.
Not sure why you are so upset. People are not going to agree on everything. I do not think that the value of Realmuto and Bour are remotely close. The basis for this is that Realmuto is a vastly superior offensive player at this point, he plays his defensive position better and he is at a position that is a premium. There are a lot of bats similar to Bour at 1st base and not any at catcher like Realmuto.
Y’alls definition of “so upset” and “touchy” is pretty weak imho. I was responding in kind to you going through the petty effort of digging up an old comment to call me out for a potential inconsistency in my opinion. I ain’t mad. I agree with you that Realmuto is vastly superior and more valuable than Bour. The comment I made was in reference to what I think the Marlins are looking for in exchange for Bour, which I don’t think they will get.
Actually I wasn't trying to dig anything up. That second quote is mine. I used my I-Phone in a cab in downtown Chicago and screwed it up........ as far as I know you haven't ever said anything about Bour prior to this thread.
LOL ohhhhh well in that case I completely misunderstood your intent. I apologize. Sorry man. I love you.
The 40-man purge continues. James Hoyt traded to the Indians for A-ball lottery ticket RHRP Tommy DeJuneas https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=dejune000tom
BA scouting report posted after the trade: https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/indians-acquire-james-hoyt-from-astros-for-prospect/ The Indians drafted DeJuneas in the 26th round out of North Carolina State last year. A standout closer for the Wolfpack, DuJuneas showed a fastball up to 96 mph but has had to back off his velocity to throw strikes. After struggling with walks in college and in his pro debut last year, he cut his walk rate in half this year and went 2-2, 3.38 with 39 strikeouts and eight walks in 29.1 innings at low Class A Kane County. DuJuneas also has a changeup and slider that flash above-average in addition to his fastball. He has the stuff to keep rising as a righthanded reliever, and whether he can harness his fast arm and throw strikes will be key. Also saw that he was selected to be on the MWL All-Star Team
