Any of these players are best used to bring in a piece this year or next. I like Sanchez best for long term value.

LY: And Lorin is 25 and still in AA; Robby Rowland is 20, and is currently 5-2. 3.06 ERA at Lo A West Virginia. Could not understand Adcock then or now and they had to keep him all year at KC in 2011.

Something is incorrect here. Dodson’s player page on this site says he isn’t eligible until 2013. So is he eligible?

Also none of these guys have much value but I think if Welch keeps hitting in AA he could be a candidate to be selected and I also think Inman if he can show anything over the final 2 months could have an outside chance as well.

aaron baker has 20 HR on the year with a .878 OPS but is 25 in high A again…these are players we can trade

Thanks Tim ; It seems the crunch may come in two years with the next batch. Looking at the bunch above, other then Grossman, Black and Sanchez, I don’t think their are any prospects to get excited about.

Btw, Lorin has a 4.46 ERA at AA and Adcock can’t stick with the pitching poor Royals.

Just sayin…..:)

I can’t see the Pirates dealing Sanchez, esp from a PR point. However, they DID release Moskos, so….

Nice article….not much there to get excited about other than Sanchez and Grossman. Now, if Black had some semblance of control……
