Astros/ Athletics

[Deleted]

The A&A's make another trade!

In this trade, the Houston Astros agree to send SS Brandon Crawford (SF) ($.4Mil) and top prospect Jameson Taillon (Pit) to the Athletics for SP prospects Matt Barnes (Bos), James Paxton (Sea), and Jose Campos (NYY).

I accept due to getting more depth in my farm system. With alot of my spects being called up this year, I needed to establish more depth on the pitching front. This trade helps me do that. Although I like Taillon, I'd much rather depth for me, and Crawford is nothing more than my 4th SS, as I had 4 of them!

Oakland to accept!

Although this is lopsided (A's may be gettin the short of the stick) I approve this deal

[Rockies GM (Alex)]

Guess who approves.... this guy. (2-0).

Veto....I'm interested as to why OAK would trade the two closest to MLB ready SPs in the prospect deal. Taillon hasn't quite lived up to the hype he had coming into 2012. I could understand it if OAK was getting a top prospect that's putting up good numbers, but he's not.

Don't understand the veto really, Derrick. Noah is getting the best prospect in the deal, plus, he won't be contending soon, or at least I wouldn't expect it.

If you want to say than Noah is getting the short end, that's fair. But, it's not a vetoable deal to me. Of course, it's not a big deal and it's your vote. Just my 1/50th of a dollar
