Adding pieces in a Wader or Cain deal also subtracts the pieces of Wader or Cain. Assuming they are healthy, we have no adequate replacement for them.

I wonder if that applies to Wade Davis now. His injury last year makes me think. |

Wouldn't it be Wade for Soler + AAAA reliever + lotto ticket bat?

If Soler (or an equivalent of him) is the main piece the Royals get for how high back-end relief pitching is valued right now, I may vomit.

Seriously though, if you deal Duffy you need 2 SP instead of just 1. Me thinks that's a money losing proposition. The reason the Royals made the run is the payroll per out earned was LOW. Value at starting pitching is very much a part of that. |

The Cubs got Chapman for Gleybar Torres and I'd imagine Torres and Soler have roughly equal value. Torres seems to have the brighter future but Soler's a major league DH at worst right now. And I wouldn't get way down on Soler just yet either; he made some nice progress with his walk rate last year and did so while maintaining an ISO around .200. If he can keep that walk rate around 10-11% and get the K rate to around 23%, if you combine that with a .200 ISO you've got a damn dangerous player. If you could get 4 years of what Morales gave you guys last year for the cost of 1 year of Davis, would you take it? With a little more upside than that? And before you say no - do me a favor and take a look at Wil Myers numbers. There would be something strangely satisfying about trading Myers for Shields and Davis, then dealing Davis for a guy that has a very VERY similar hitting profile to Wil Myers. About the only thing that separated those two offensively last year was PAs and some BABIP luck. You might be right - Davis is damn good and perhaps you could do a bit better. But I don't think this is the puke-worthy kind of return some of you do either. Soler has a chance to be a hell of an offensive weapon.
