You think that no player with a NTC in their contract has ever been dealt?

It would be huge if we could turn Farnsworth or Meyers into Pittsburgh’s Damaso Marte.

First, Welcome back SJ,now if Randy 1 would return that would be solid…Both are very insightful, knowledgable, and more importantly they know the game…..Just listened to the Dodger talk show, and they say that the Yanks & Dodgers are still talking about Proctor ( some loose change ) for Betemit…..No way are they even remotely interested in Farnsworth…Cashman is being held hostage as everyone in the game knows the Yanks want to move his ass…..Maybe Colorado for some used BP balls, and Yankee Dollars…Just read the names that are being tossed around for Gange….Seems to good to be true, that’s a small price for a lockdown reliever….Let’s hope it’s true….Question, if the club does move Proctor, and Farnsworth, I suspect the Chamberlain experiment is on, but who else besides the Viz can they count on…Britton’s out, Bruney ?????

Asking because McCutcheon is 11-2, 2.50 at Tampa. Just wondering if he saw him and his opinion of him.

What does your scout friend think of Daniel McCutcheon?

If this unsubstantiated rumor is true, I pull the trigger in a heartbeat. I like T-Clip and Marquez could be a decent big leaguer, but this deal makes the big club better and does not sell off the high-ceiling prospects on the farm. Plus it opens the door to dump Farnsy for whatever they can get for him.

My scout friend is not high on Chase Wright, Clippard or Marquez. Thinks they are ok but not special type of arms.

He loves Hughes and Chamberlain. IHO, he thinks they are the two best pitching prospects in baseball.

Also loves Horne and Kennedy and thinks Cashman would be wise to keep both of them.

He thinks Sanchez will turn out to be a very good pitcher, Post-TJ Surgery.

He hasn’t seen Betances or McAllister this year so, he has no opinion on either.

Thinks Ohlendorf’s future is in the bullpen and thinks he could be a very good setup man.

Those are all the pitchers in the system he told me about this summer.
