Sign that the trade market has officially gotten out of hand: Jeremy Hellickson may well fetch at least three, and perhaps four, prospects.

I don't think quantity is as important as quality...if you told me Jeremy hellickson will get you a top 100 prospect then id say its out of control

Rangers have scouts in the stands watching Vinnie

[Munson]

Gallo+Profar+mild upside Single A guy for Vinnie+???

if its profar and a prospect like brinson or something im definitely doing it....give me the bonafide ML player and some prospects and you can have the pitcher most likely to be a mid rotation starter or a closer.

theres of course the small chance vinny stays healthy and reaches his full potential and you trade away an ace, but this is something id bet against

REALLY?

obviously its a need for need swap....rangers need arms phils need bats

[ice grillin you]

I just hope that everyone in the know realizes that gallo is a pos

[MDS]

profar or mazara have to come back or else its pointless....need a ML ready guarantee. but yes gallo farging sucks.

profar seems more likely since the rangers have an infield set. they need mazara right now, hes an everyday player for them. im getting hard thinking about a franco-jp-profar infield.

[ice grillin you]

why are we talking about real prospects in a Phillies thread

[PhillyPhreak54]

Profar or Mazara for sure

How many years of control do they have on Vinny? Five? For a legit starter?

Gotta be a landslide offer
