Ok, if the Dickey deal happens who would you try to acquire via trade for the OF? Rules/assumptions: Must be a prospect or young major leaguer (pre-FA). Preferably RH.
I was thinking that both the A´s and CWS need a 3B for the future. So:
Grant Green from the A´s (for Flores straight up)? Green is a 2B converting to CF, 5th best A´s prospect via MLB, and is blocked.
LF Dayan Viciedo from the CWS (for Flores and a pitcher- Familia/deGrom...). A power hitting RH OFer, would be better than Duda both offensively and defensively. (I´d trade Duda too, to an AL team in need of a 1B/DH, but that´s another Shot.)
Any other targets?

"#Royals acquire RHPs James Shields, Wade Davis and player to be named or cash from Tampa Bay for Myers, Odorizzi, Montgomery and Leonard. "

When the owners wanted to change the terms of a player’s pension, they just went ahead and did it—and seemed stunned when the players thought that they ought to have been consulted. Within a decade, Miller put a stop to all of that. He called the first successful strike in the history of professional sports. He led the fight against the reserve clause. He ushered in free agency. The world that we see now, of multi-million-dollar contracts and players selling their talents on the open market, is the world that Marvin Miller created.

Here's Eric Karabell's prediction for the Mets in 2013. Would you sign up for this?

New York Mets: New center fielder B.J. Upton registers his first 30/30 season, though he hits .240 in the process. Ike Davis is traded to make room at first base for Lucas Duda, who bounces back from a broken wrist to hit 24 home runs.

Hi sorry, but with this new SBNation format I'm unsure as to what category this fanshot should go under. I'm starting to think about my Offseason AAOP, and I was wondering what player, or players, this package would be worth this offseason...

Trade for King Felix?
Would you trade Duda, Flores, and Gee for Felix Hernandez of the Ms? Possible add-ons: Omar Q.(they need some offense everywhere, but particularly at SS), Murphy. Possible other add-ons: Bay (he´s from Vancouver area), Brandon League.

Lolololra dickeys not even good. A knuckleball is like have a gun in a knife fight. It does all the work. U just have to throw it. He will eventually get rocked like wakefield
