Trade happy in the early going

4 days into the 2018 season and few teams are already working out deals to fill holes. I don't know if there was talks during the offseason are not but apparently something these teams saw in the first 4 games made them pull the trigger.

Brooklyn and Havana work deal centered around Willin Rosario and Rob Quinn

Brooklyn receives

C Willin Rosario
OF Armando Banda

Havana gets

Ron Quinn 2B

Quinn will fill a hole at 2b for the Trogons and do it very well. He is more of a slap hitter but he has the discipline and gap power do be a very very good 2nd hole hitter. He simply gets on base at the plate and that is a valuable commodity in any player, plus at 25 he has a long future in front of him and is still very cheap.

Brooklyn gets

Willin Rosario C

Rosario is nothing more than an league average catcher but when you lack even that at the position this deals starts to make a lot of sense. The aces were trotting out there with Jose Perez every day and tbh that was an achilles heel for the team in my opinion as he is more of a backup/defensive sub guy.
Rosario will bat around .250 and hit 15-20 Hr's and that is a huge upgrade in my opinion

Armando Banda CF AA

Banda is more of a lottery pick in my opinion as he lacks the eye and discipline at the plate, but he does have some amazing power potential and at only 22 has a lot of room for improvement if the Aces are patient with him. I feel this equals out the deal nicely.

Winners/Losers – well tbh I like this deal for both teams and I feel it is fairly even. If the Aces were gonna compete this year catcher had to be addressed and soon and I feel this does that, On Havana side they are not trying to compete this year so trading a older player and a young prospect for a star talent young 2b makes sense.

Ok so that was the first trade the next one involved New Boston Gm Snoblits with relative newcomer too the league Threesportgeek and Jacksonville.

Jacksonville gets

Stephen Strahsburg SP
Lyndon Connoly CF
and
Brett Morel 3b

New Boston gets
3b Robert Weston and
2,000,000 cash

This one I hate for personal reasons as I really don't need New Boston to get more bats but that being said they did give Jacksonville a lot of talented but not superstar qaulity for there ML team

Strasburg has always struggled to reach his super high ceiling and the Jaguars apparently feel it is something that they can change. If not then this guy's stats say he is at best 5th starter and not a very good one.

Connoly stuggled last year but he has the potential to immediately improve this offense and help replace the predicted impact of young stud Robert Weston. He also plays a very good CF with good range which should help the defense and pitching.

Brett Morel is filler for the vacant 3b position and to be honest should provide league average production and nothing more. By no means is this guy anything more than average to below average but he will not embarrass himself out there.

New Boston gave up some talent to get Weston and taking a look at the player it is easy to see why. Weston is a true impact bat with MVP/HOF type potential. In fact I wish I had known he was available I may have tried to make a play myself. Of course all this is based on potential not production but if he is even ¾ the player he could be then he will be the best 3b in the game sooner rather than later

Winner/Loser

New Boston gets a superstar potential at a weak 3b and Jacksonville gets immediately better on both sides of the ball. I wish jacksonville had gotten a little more youth in the deal but I feel they filled 2 holes while creating one which I would think is a win for them. Weston was not going to make them competitive all by himself but Connolly and Strasburg might be able to help get them to above average sooner rather than later. If strasburg were too live up to his ratings ( finally) then this could skew this trade in Jacksonville favor but as of right now I just love SnoBlitz going out and getting the guy at the one weakness on a very good team. Winner: Sno and Boston although it is very very close
