Value of Cody Rasmus?

[augustine]

Some tidbits on the value of Rasmus:

Fangraphs ranks him the 14th highest trade value in the major leagues. For comparison, Romero is the only Jay in the top 50, at #48.

An objective analysis of equal trade value from http://pinetarandpocketprotectors.wordp ... ade-value/

"Here are some trade proposals that I think would fit the bill:
To the Yankees for: Brett Gardner, Manny Banuelos
To the Braves for: Craig Kimbrel, Arodys Vizcaino, Omar Infante (one year until free agency)
To the Blue Jays for: Shaun Marcum, Zach Stewart
To the Marlins for: Mike Stanton straight up"

Obviously, he thinks Rasmus for Marcum, Stewart is reasonable too, so that is about the price

To the Blue Jays for: Shaun Marcum, Zach Stewart

Obviously, he thinks Rasmus for Marcum, Stewart is reasonable too, so that is about the price

if that was possible, AA would be all over wite at the first chance..... sadly, I doubt it

I would hate to give up our 4 main pitchers. but for a playr like Colby Rasmus. you would have to do it.

How about this,
TOR
Bautista
Marcum
Thames
B+ prospect

STL
Rasmus
David Freese
C prospect

Gives STL a soild offensive boost now and a solid #3 starter that can win 15 games for them. Gives the jays 2 solid young controllable players. Not sure if STL goes for it may have to sweeten the deal a little for STL
