Derrick Turnbow for BJ Upton?

I didn't mean any disrespect. Much of my babble is in jest. Nevertheless, the "prospects" of which you speak are hardly even considered fodder, at present. Right now, if we were to get good value for one of our pitching prospects, the two top targets would be Yo or CV the Younger. Then again, I am an avid fan of Will Inman and there is reason he is excluded from my list of pitching prospect touchables.

my total thought process is that the brewers have a lot of pitching prospects that if we keep bush, Capuano sheets and Suppan for the next 4 years will never realize their potential pitching for teh brewers.

 

tampa bay needs and wants young pitching prospects. We have several we could spare. and I think upton is worth trading one or two of those prospects for. No, i would not want to trade Yo or inman for upton. but i'd be willing to trade Jackson or Parra or maybe Villenuava. I'd definitelty throw in hendrickson and jones.

 

to get talent, you must be willing to give up perceived talent. the dbacks obviously thought more of Eveland than the brewers did. maybe we could get tampa to feel that way about jackson or parra or hendrickson. I'm not down on these guys, but i don't see any of them having a future as a Brewer. .

The Brewers can't keep all four those pitchers. They'll likely just be able to afford two of the four after 2008. Hopefully one will be Sheets and one of Bush/Cappy, but thats only if the team is lucky.
