[QUOTE="the juiceman cometh, post: 1781363, member: 747321"] Yeah, I mean if it didn't make you nervous at all, it'd be a terrible deal for the other side. You have to give something up to get something. I was reading about the Miguel Cabrera trade today. At the time a lot of people thought the Tigers gave up a ridiculous haul in prospects to get him. Miggy proceeded to put up over 68 WAR playing for the Tigers while the 6 prospects they gave up combined for just under 25 WAR for their entire careers. Interesting side note, the Cardinals had interest but were unwilling to give up Colby Rasmus to make the deal. Which brings me to something I noticed that was really surprising to me: Here's Carlson' BA/OBP/SLG/OPS/OPS+ from this season so far: [ATTACH type="full" alt="20220729_141118.jpg"]19032[/ATTACH] And here are the corresponding stats from 2010 Colby Rasmus, also age 23 at the time: [ATTACH type="full" alt="20220729_141632.jpg"]19034[/ATTACH] Rasmus only had one more season as good as that one, in 2013 with the Blue Jays, and played his last season in 2018 at the age of 31. Edit: Here's that Miggy article for anyone interested [URL unfurl="true"]https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/juan-soto-trade-miguel-cabrera-farm-system-mlb-133430654.html?soc_src=social-sh&soc_trk=tw&tsrc=twtr[/URL] [/QUOTE]
