Harrison would be a great addition to this rotation, and IMO would add like 2-3 more points. Plus with our prospects maybe we can get Ogando or Holland. would you do this if you were both teams.
BLUEJAYS: Holland
RANGERS: hecvarria, Sydenngard, Gose, McGuire. Maybe Drabek. Sorry for spelling.
Wow you're an....
That's the kind of package you offer to an ace, not freakin Derek Holland.
The prospects are great but listen to this. With Hech we already have Escobar and it doesnt look like they are going to move him or escobar to second. With Gose we already have rasmus and Marsinick. Sydenngard is good but with holland in our rotation it would be like Romero,Holland,Morrow,Alvarez,Cecil/McGowan/Drabek (if not traded in the deal). Drabek hasn't done well, so it doesn't really hurt that much to lose him. IMO, we are really only losing McGuire. They are all great talents, but so is holland.
We aren't only really losing McGuire. That is a ridiculous way of looking at it. We are losing the ability to trade those prospects for other players, since you just dumped half the farm to get Derek Holland.
If I have $50 in my pocket, and I spot a fancy $10 pair of spats I just have to have, and I tell the delightful scamp running the till to keep the change...I lose the opportunity to spend the $40 tip I just gave him, instead of being able to also go out and buy an onion for my belt, which was the style of the times.
