My only problem with the idea that trading him now is best is this: No one is trading yet. Whoever trades for CC will have to mortgage the future. They will have to give up a lot. It will not be a no-brainer.
We may not need 5 more weeks of information before we decide what we’re doing, but that is uncommon.

Gotcha, no subject. It’s weird how different sites have different ways of posting.
I actually did come here to see if anyone said something like the "light drizzle" comment above, as internet radar kinda sucks.
As far as torturing you guys I am in NO position to make fun, and would like nothing more than to see an Indians-Reds WS. At least for the last couple of years I could take a little pride in a decent team playing in the state. :)

Interesting. Not surprising, I guess. Hodges is clearly the better prospect by any measure.
What does he hate about Crowe? Anything specific? I always though Crowe was a scout’s guy. And his current performance is the best he’s ever done, by far.

Read an interesting comment from an Indians prospect not long ago oto the effect that the Indians don’t care about home runs at all, they don’t think they’ll translate to the majors. They just care about OBP and hitting the ball hard. Trevor Crowe seems to have been a moment of this philosophy totally running amok.

His comments on Crowe were largely the fact that he has been hugely overrated because of where he was drafted and the only way that he was going to be a major leaguer was as a leadoff hitter in CF and his arm in CF was questionable and his speed has dropped enough that he isn’t a prototypical leadoff guy anymore, so his upside value is as a good fourth outfielder. He called him one of the most over-hyped prospects that he’s ever personally seen.

OPS+ of 156 at age 23? Isn’t that exactly what you want your prospects to become? At two million more than we’re paying Byrd. I’d take him in a hearbeat, defense be damned. It’s not like Garko rocks or anything.

Hey, love the hitting, but he’s a defensive negative, and those numbers are from the 2007 NL.
He is what you’d like your prospects to become, but you’d like them to become it before they get a $10 million arbitration payday, and you’d like to have them for 6.6 years rather than three, and you’d like for Scott Boras not to be their agent.

He’s certainly a defense liability, but it’s my understanding that when your offensive production is that absurd you drive in waaaaay more runs than you give up on D. Perhaps I’m misinformed.
You certainly want all of the things you list in your second paragraph, but getting all of that is kinda the perfect storm of impossible production, development, and timing. His numbers are down a bit this year so far, but I think he’s a lock to post around a 140-150 OPS+ or something during those three years. I can’t find any fault in that.
