You've seen the prices on the Free Agent market You've seen the SPs being offered on trade blocks, both the lack of quality and high salaries You know what's left in free agency
Take a look at this guy: 25 years old, $0.5 PP for 2015 - 2018 So far this year: 4 starts for 27.1 innings 22 strikeouts along with 2 wins ERA = 1.65 WHIP = 0.732
You must think I am nuts to put this guy on the block, his name by the way................Jake Odorizzi
Some FAQs Pete, why on earth would the Generals trade him away? Well, I am still in a 2 to 3 year rebuild, and looking to the future.
Are you desparate to trade him? Nope, I have no problem keeping him or dealing him down the road if I don't get what I am looking for.
Will you take on salary? Nope, I have no room.
What would it take to get him? I am looking for 2 to 3 top prospects in return for him. Guys that have the potential and scouting reports to be as good as him, but since they are specs, they are riskier than Odorizzi, since he is proven.
Do you have other mlb guys available? Yep, there are a few on my roster, just check out my Fantrax page, and be sure to look closely at Brandon Phillips, he would love to join Jake O on a trip out of town.
Thanks for reading.

BUMP and adding another young SP stud. Having struck a deal for Odorizzi, so he is still available. He pitches tonight, so be sure to scout him out.
ALSO adding to this block, another young PP starting pitcher with solid numbers. Nick Martinez (yes, that Nick Martinez) - so far this season 5 games (5 starts) and 5 QUALITY starts, 32 innings, 2 wins, 13ks, an ERA of 0.84 and a WHIP of 1.125 He is only 24 years old, and is $0.5 PP until 2018. Not sure he is that good, go check out his last full minor league season, 2013 stat line.
I just did a quick filter on all SPs in the league in Fantrax, and based on our stats Martinez is #19 and Odorizzi is #14
