What is Morales worth??

Been sitting here watching the end of the CWS and reading MLBTradeRumors.com and a couple of articles have mentioned that the Rocks are starting to look for starting pitching in preparation for us being in the race closer to the deadline.

As it currently stands, not many pitchers are on the blocks due to many would be sellers still feeling like they are in it, so the asking price is pretty high. Exp - Indians are looking for Clay Buchholz type talent for Cliff Lee.

So I started to look through our roster to see what we might have as possible trading chips and Morales appears to be an interesting possibility.

I see a couple of scenarios playing out

Scenario 1 - Has Morales finally putting it all together down in the Springs and being that "additional" starter that we are looking for down the stretch.

Scenario 2 - Has him just not fulfilling his potential and causing the Rocks roster issues next year as he will be out of options.

So my question to you - If we were to dangle Frankie as trade bait between now and the deadline, what do you think he would fetch?

What will come of Frankie Morales?

He will finally put it together and become a middle of the rotation arm for the Rocks.

He'll continue to struggle and cause a roster issue for the Rocks in 2010.

Sign Pedro Martinez

Here’s my idea…I don’t think Morales will make that much of an impact both performance and psychological.-wise Therefore sign Pedro Martinez 9Brett Saberhagen Effect) with the money we save from trading Atkings. Pedro with good defense should be an average pitcher but he’ll be passing on alot of advice to Ubaldo and the rest of the staff. Remember he mentors Ubaldo here and there. We are in a pennent race…so the appeal is there….I think we even have the money to do it. But I wouldn’t sign him if he cost us draft picks but I didn’t see anything on the web that said he would cost us draft picks.
