Can you provide your personal pros/cons to making this deal?

ab05xp  6/4/2013 6:29 PM

sure.. sorry i should have been more specific 

the way i see it is matt moore is the highest upside pitcher of the group (only 23.. already one of the elite pitchers)...

buchholz is pitching lights out, but i dont trust him longterm especially at age 29 and this being a career year

i love mike minor... but if i had to choose to keep one between moore or minor i personally would pick moore (although I could be wrong, Minor is showing no signs of regression)

finally.... i cant keep both clay and minor anyways.. so i have to drop one of them at the end of the year

My pitchers right now are Verlander, Hamels, Minor, Buccholz, Fister, Bailey, Garza, Gausman, Skaggs

mbuser.. do you agree with my thinking or do you have different feelings?

Your reasoning is sound to me. Both Minor and Moore are strong keeper options, and I don't have a problem with your personal preference for Moore. And if you can't keep both SP on the way out, it's that much more reasonable.

You may want to reconsider Peavy as the fourth player in the deal. Not sure how this will end up: http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/06/05/jake-peavy-im-hurting-to-take-a-deep-breath/
