how old is turner?

**Smoke** · 07-23-12, 07:06 PM

Turner was #1 prospect in organization but Sanchez is proven pitcher. Great deal for both sides

Eddie I called, straight to voice mail unreal

**Chi_archie** · 07-23-12, 07:09 PM

Tigers invested alot in Turner already, and was their top prospect 2 years running.

21 years old... where was verlander at 21? not even drafted yet.

can't believe true Tiger fans aren't a bit worried about the desperation and the hit the "future" took

well even if all 3 of these prospects bust... the tigers took a financial hit...

and they have no one to replace their projected 2015 #2 starter...

#21 prospect or whatever he was in all of baseball with a near $10 million investment can't just be "shrugged off"

its all or nothing this year with the Tigers.

I hope you guys do well

They didn't have to give up Castellanos so I am cool with it. I have watched Turner pitch and one day he may get better but he just reminds me of another Rick Porcello. Kid with a lot of hype that will never be past an average starter. Smyly actually is there best pitching prospect along with Crosby. With Dombrowski at helm you never know who your going to get. One thing is for sure he always will be aggressive in trades and free agency, so not worried about 2015 pitching rotation.

good points....

I just knew that Turner was BA's top tiger prospect the last two years PRESEASON.

Castellanos has really rocketed up this... in fact I think he was on BA's top 50 midseason report in the teens or better...

The Flynn kid i'd never heard of.. but a 6'8 250 lb lefty at age 22.. you never know..

I just feel like the Tigers are gonna have spend phillies/yanks level money over the next decade to keep a good mlb product. they already were in the bottom 3rd of farm system talent. Now they traded two of their 2012 preseason top 7 prospects in Turner and Brantley...

lot of roster spots to fill for 2013 right? don't they have alot of expiring contracts?

from what i read tigers have no farm system anyway

what the point of being average every year ?

at some point you gotta dig your cleats in and go for it

Eddie hold me

**Chi_archie** · 07-23-12, 09:18 PM

I mean its a gamble.. I get that..

the upside of this trade is maybe gain 1-2 games at most via infante and what? 2-3 games with Sanchez?

Sanchez is gone after this year? and Infante you are stuck with... (look at his WAR and splits since may ended)

I know Sanchez is a big upgrade for them at 2n but hell Deuce would be an upgrade for the tigers...

but the upside for the Marlins is REAL high. but yeah all 3 of those kids could go busto

**Smoke** · 07-23-12, 09:21 PM

Archer you think too much

Great deal for both sides

**opie1988** · 07-23-12, 09:27 PM

Red Sox. Lol.

**Chi_archie** · 07-23-12, 09:28 PM

with the amount of posts we post....

its criminal to NOT engage your brain this much. I enjoy trade deadline and prospect evaluation and "playing Gm" more than most. To each their own...

sadly, the majority here don't engage their brain AT ALL

cut and paste old recycled cliched jokes that they weren't even around when they started

no mames guey

Smoke call me on the 773 line pal

JJ, you broke dik bald loser

ect ect ect.

that is not my cup of tea, but to each their own again!

God bless

I hope so! Bring Infante back

I've never been a huge Infante fan personally, but he's an upgrade over the derelicts they've been trotting out there at 2B.

Sanchez is a great pitcher. Very under valued. Has nasty stuff every one forgets the no hitter he threw. He still has the same stuff no drop off

Depends on the day. Always had plus stuff, but can he mentally handle a pennant race?

I'm worried because of how awful our farm system is. That was the case even before this trade.

**lunchbawks** · 07-24-12, 10:03 AM

good! its awful watching anibal bunt strike 3 in the NL

Sanchez is a lot better than his record, he is in the top 20 in the majors in FIP.

Had that avatar for 6 months or so but recently changed it due to Tigers losing more than winning. Since the change I think I'll keep Leyland, they appear to be winning again.

Good choice. No doubt your avatar strongly influences the tiger's winning percentage

**t-wizzle** · 07-24-12, 02:40 PM

Tigers have no shot against Texas or the Angels.

**Sledge187** · 07-25-16, 01:48 AM

Tigers have some ground to make up.

It was a great trade for Tigers. Jacob Turner ended up being garbage.

People here think they are GM's.
