"Well... we're waiting!!!!"

I wonder if big Brock could be in the deal. He'd meet some criteria

[Never Outhustled]

I'll say McClendon and Wooten. Worried most about Fiers.

[TooLiveBrew]

I think DHonks has a good guess with Kjeldgaard. McClendon + Kjeldgaard isn't a bad return on the K-Rod situation from the Mets' p.o.v. Especially if they think Kjeldgaard is ready to be pushed up the farm system.

 

If the Mets got Fiers in this deal, kudos to them. I don't expect him to be on the list, but what do I know.

[SoCalBrewfan]

For no particularly good reason, I'd now guess McClendon and either Khris Davis, D'Vo, or Lee Haydel. Fiers would be a bit disappointing, but I wouldn't be surprised if the deal hurt just a tiny bit from the Brewers' side...

 

Soon all will be revealed I guess.

I highly doubt Fiers is on the list based on what was said when it looked like Narveson might not be ready for the doubleheader. If I remember correctly, either Melvin or Roenicke said they were looking at two AAA starters as possible replacements: Peralta and one who wasn't on the 40-man. Given the fact that I doubt Butler or Narron would have been looked at as legitimate options right now, I'd assume that second pitcher would be Fiers, and he wouldn't be under consideration if he was on the list.

 

Similarly, I hope the talk about Maldonado being called up tomorrow means he isn't on the list.

I'll second. I've been wondering if its Kh Davis for a while now.

At the time of the deal Khris Davis was absolutely mashing it in A+. While he's struggled in AA so far I'll still be upset if he's gone. As sad as this is to say, he's still probably the best hitting prospect in the system below Nashville.

[LouisEly]

I had Kintzler and Khris Davis from the start. I thought Kintzler was the guy "with some major league experience and success" because he has a higher ceiling than McClendon. But Kintzler's injury rehab and KhD's struggles in AA are making me question that. I like KhD, but in reality he is blocked by Braun and Gamel so there's no sense in not selling high on him. I still have Rogers and Arnett as dark horses, because it allows the Brewers to save face by saying they traded one or the other for K-Rod, and it allows the Mets to save face by saying they traded K-Rod for a former 1st round pick.

[And That]

As sad as this is to say, he's still probably the best hitting prospect in the system below Nashville.

Gennett is a much, much better hitting prospect. I'd put Richardson above him too, and consider Rivera, Arcia and Ramirez.

[uwisfan]

well that was pretty anti-climactic.. who are those guys?
