Everybody on the Luke Scott Train

Luke Scott would require a trade, which means trading a prospect(s) for a marginal stop-gap, much less a platoon player. No.

I am on the train with you!

“There is talk that Baltimore might make him available and I”m sure he wouldn’t cost us much in a trade."

I don’t think either statement is true, much less both of them. Scott is currently penciled in as the O’s primary DH, and as a safety net in case Pie flops. I do not think he would come cheap.

from camdenchat…I’ve tried to push this on my braves friend almost jokingly at this point. you guys know it’d cost at least one pitching prospect right? I’m not saying he’s worth it but that’s what the asking price would be. They are going to give Pie all the at bats he can stomach in LF and having Freel and Wiggington on board Scott is somewhat expendable…although I really haven’t heard much about him going. I think you guys could do a lot worse than Scott.

I can see the Orioles askin for Medlen and Eric Cordier or Osuna for Scott. Reasonable price. I would do the deal because he is still under contract prolly until Gorkys or Heyward is ready to take over in the OF. I would hate to give up Medlen cause i view him as a future set up man but to get Scott i would do it. The guy can flat out hit.

or perhaps Brandon Jones and Cordier or Osuna for Scott. That could work.

how is Brandon Jones too much? What is Brandon Jones worth in a trade? I say not all that high at all in my opinion. And in a few years i dont think we would even need Jones since we have Schafer, Gorkys, and Heyward all in our minors and then other Outfielders that could improve and take notice by then. So you have to look at it this way: Would you rather have Luke Scott now or Brandon Jones now(remember he hasn’t done crap in the majors other than a september callup where he got some at bats and started some). If the Braves are serious about contending(which they are thats why they made the moves that they made its for this year and the future) then we would definately trade Brandon Jones and then somethin else for Scott.

Your probably right. I just thought that since Brandon Jones is young has good potential has potential to be an everyday OF possibly that they would want him. I think that Jones is better than Pie(which thats not sayin a whole lot) and that if Pie didn’t do anything at all then they could try Jones in LF to see what happens.

Are you talkin to me? Dude i been a member of this site for years even before they redid the site to what it looks like now. And YOU just registered THIS month and your gonna tell ME how things are done? You might want to keep your mouth shut when talkin to me ok and not act like a smartass.

For one thing at the time his comment was the last comment on here so i just typed a comment. So mind your own business on here.

Ed Wade actually thought Michael Bourn was better than him. Good times.

Since the Rockies lost Francis, what about dealing Reyes (or another starter we won’t keep) for Ryan Spillborghs? Decent hitter, splits are OK… I mean, he can’t be worse than BJones.

I think you go after Delmon Young. He is 23, has or will add power and is a ballplayer. The Twins have four outfielders so they should be parting with one of them. I don’t think two of Atlanta’s many pitching prospects would be too high a price.

Garret Anderson makes me long for Luke Scott. Or Delmon Young.

I hope to god he fails his physical.
