Lynn is not an Ace but he is better than than an average LH just another guy and you are talking about giving up him, Craig, and another guy for just another guy.
Lynn may never be great but he will be Ok and Craig will eventually be fine. Which is a slightly above average ML hitter. |

If all you get out of Craig is a slightly above average ML hitter, he's severely overpaid and over played.

The only pitcher would be at the deadline for someone like Price. Waino/Price/Wacha would take us far in the playoffs. But I'm sure they are going to want way too much for Price to make it a sensible deal for us.
This! He helps us with his bat, he increases his trade worth but then if that's happening, why would we want to trade him?

The question was why you don't trade them. You said Craig is essentially an average MLB hitter, making him a negative WAR player as he doesn't have a position that he's league average at defensively.
So it doesn't matter if it was the question or not, by answering the first question the way you did essentially makes him easily replaced by a younger cheaper player we have currently in Memphis who can play better defense and hit HR"s. |

And I'd trade Lynn in a heart beat. Not sure how he's viewed around the league, so I'm not sure realistically what you could get for him.

Craig's hit more than 15 HR's once in his career, and he'll be 30 in a month.
I'd say he's more of a 10-15 HR guy. |

Allen Craig has been a tremendous ML hitter since 2011. The problem is that right now he's ****ing terrible. If you take away the one Brewer game he's essentially having a Kozma-esque offensive season. Even with it, he's producing 30% fewer runs than an average ML hitter.
