If Carpenter could have brought the haul that Eaton did, well, that deal should have been made. |

His speed is also quite a bit overrated, IMO. He stole 30 bases in his 2 years in Chicago, just 10 more than Rizzo who actually stole more bases in 2015, yet he's talked about as if he's a threat on the base paths like Mike Trout or some shit. |

I agree. If we could have received something similiar to the Eaton trade, we should trade Carp.

So in looking into Dozier on my Cardinals board, I came upon an interesting set of facts/stats that I'll re-post here. Somebody try to convince me that I'm nuts because I'm certainly open to the possibility:

And in response to the idea that perhaps he was a product of situational deployment:

DJ, you forgot to factor in that if Dozier were traded to the Cards he also wouldn't be facing Royals pitching anymore.
EDIT: Well, not for 17 games. |

Dozier is a pain ass in the ass. Respect the hell out of him as a player, wouldn't mind seeing him out of the AL Central.

That was the point I was getting at. We might have a virtually identical player on the roster already.

If in two years we are going to be a "real" threat to the Cubs and make a World Series, we need Martinez and Reyes as 1/2 in the rotation. We are not getting a top flight player without giving up one of those crucial parts to our future core. And then they would just be the "starter" piece.
