Brewers/Angels/Devil Rays Proposal

[fleehaw]

Angels get: Hall

Angels trade: Santana & Aybar

 

Devil Rays get: Aybar, Villenueva, & Capellan/Aquino

Devil Rays trade: Badelli/Crawford

 

Brewers trade: Hall, Villenueva, & Capellan/Aquino

Brewers get: Santana & Badelli/Crawford

 

Melvin would still have Jenkins, Mench, & possibly Clark to deal for bullpen/6th starter help.

 

Thoughts?

Okay now this is a Hall deal I would do only if it was Crawford though.

 

Maybe the Angels do it, I'm not sure.

 

D'Rays may do it too, don't know

So, the Brewers get the 2 best players in the trade (Santana & Crawford)? Obviously, I'd love for that to happen, but can't see it shaking out this way.

 

I can't imagine that Crawford is available, except in a blockbuster IMO.

Well, I'm of the opinion that Hall for Santana & Aybar is pretty equal value. But, I've been known to be wrong, so the Brewers can add someone.

 

Hall & Jackson for Santana & Aybar

 

Also, I think most people are of the assumption that Crawford>Badelli. So, let's take Crawford out of the equation. The Rays are apparently asking for 2 good, young pitchers & a SS in return for Badelli. Aybar is a top prospect in the Angels organization & a SS. Villenueva is a good, young pitcher, probably not with the ceiling the Rays are looking for, but good none the less. Add in Capellan (I think Capellan>Aquino) and the Rays got a solid BP guy that could turn into a good closer. I'd go so far as to add another pitching prospect, one in the 20-50 range in Toby's rankings (Garrison, Jones, Bray, Zumalt, Thurman, Thatcher, Hinton...)

So let's say,

 

Villenueva, Aybar, Capellan, & Hinton for Badelli

 

I'd still make the deals.

Any trade where we get a pitcher and centerfielder of note for Bill Hall is the type of trade I see us doing this offseason. Now make it happen!
