Reds confirm. Again, I LOVE Teheran's potential. If he were to stay he has a chance to be the best pitcher on my staff maybe starting next year, but I have to take a chance if I feel a window is open NOW. I also am a believer that Mesoraco can hit 20HRs in the bigs and is a legit hitter. I have had a lot of people ask for them and turned them all down. I like Jimenez and even though he hasnt had that great of a year, Im hoping he gets traded and maybe gets a fresh start. He hasnt been the same pitcher since after the all-star break last year but like I have said I hope he can be. I would not trade Teharan for a 1yr run of a mill guy or even other specs. Nunez is gonna be a rental because I will not be able to afford next year and I needed SB so thats where Andrus comes into picture. Nelson is gonna be a solid 2B and the Rockies like him. Since the Panel thinks I was winning the previous trade, I have added Alex Gordon to mix going to him. He is finally reaching his potential and have been reaping his rewards ever since I traded to get him but will move him if the other players help round out my club. I only get back a long time minor league OF that just called up and Robinson which is in a crowded KC minors system behind 4 other guys. Hes been compared to Kila, so I dont know what to really think of him. I hope this satisfies the trade committee now.

White Sox to confirm.

I think Teheran projects to be a number one starter. If you asked me who i'd rather have Teheran or Ubaldo in three years i'd say Teheran. Mesoraco is an amazing hitter who will have no problem hitting at least .280 in the majors which is great considering how shallow catchers are. I think he'll be an all star. Edwar Cabrera i project as sort of an Ervin Santana type with 200 strikeout a year potential. Chris Nelson is a solid 2B prospect with how little other options the Rockies have he should get a chance to win the job. Orlando Cabrera is just to work out the salary. Alex Gordon is returning to the same stature we all thought he'd turn out to be pre-2007. He's on pace to win AL comeback player of the year and he'll provide a cheap option for my outfield postion not only now but in the future as well. An outfielder that hits .285 plus with 20 HR's a year with 15 stolen bases sounds good to me. As for what i give up i think Teheran will replace Ubaldo, who the Rockies won't trade at least until next year so he will be stuck in that hitters park. I never really thought Andrus was much of a hitter and i think Jurickson Profar will take his job in a couple of years. Leo Nunez is outpiching his FIP this year ( 3.40ERA 3.68FIP) and this would be my last year with him. He might get traded and be forced into a setup role also. De Aza is just a guy. C.Robinson is probably a AAAA player.
