It's too early for them to start trading away minor league prospects for short term success. Also folks are projecting D'Arnaud to be the better catcher out of the two. In my mind whoever can play better defense is the one to keep and I suspect that it's not Arencibia...The Blue Jays Ludditehttp://www.bluejaysluddite.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-14497192805572571002011-07-24T22:10:13.511-04:002011-07-24T22:10:13.511-04:00Prospects are not the goal. :dProspects are not the goal. :dAngry Birds christmashttp://angry-birds-christmas.angrybirds.imnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-44134791912499231132011-07-24T21:21:49.291-04:002011-07-24T21:21:49.291-04:00Rather than position players I'd love a lights...Rather than position players I'd love a lights out "closer"-type for late high-leverage situations. High SO/9, low BB/9, high GB%. Based on this year anyway, even getting Brandon League back would be an improvement. He has been mentioned as trade bait but I'm not certain that's actually probable. <br />#12!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-35554208762614677792011-07-24T18:30:48.209-04:002011-07-24T18:30:48.209-04:00hill and d'arnaud for han-ram and ricky nolasc...hill and d'arnaud for han-ram and ricky nolasco...?plain_ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01424504336955590049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-33419648825009979842011-07-24T11:41:13.598-04:002011-07-24T11:41:13.598-04:00I could actually get behind a deal involving d'...I could actually get behind a deal involving d'Arnaud. Arencibia has really impressed me, batting average be damned. Also, the Jays are absolutely stacked with catching prospects. Behind d'Arnaud, there are A.J. Jimenez (who hits for average, has speed - not just catcher speed(!) and has earned a reputation as a base-runner murderer), Carlos Perez and Santiago Nessy. And really deep, there's a kid in the DSL who's really turning it on, named Kervin Santiago. <br />A lot of people really like Carlos Perez and he could earn a big haul, too.R.A.

I think you take the guy who seems like he can produce at the big league level. Then turn the AA prospect into an ace starter or quality center fielder. At the very least you examine the possibilities. <br /><br /><br />Prospects are not the goal.jerkstorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00766555643273251535noreply@blogger.com
