Cincinnati Receives: OF Billy Burns (Oakland), 1st, $0.3 LHP Dillon Overton (Oakland), 1st, 0.3 RP, J.J. Putz (2014) 2.3 For Oakland Receives: OF, CoCo Crisp (2014) 1.6 Cap: Dbacks -0.7 Orioles +1.3 I'm doing this trade simply because I want to get "something" for CoCo before I lose him in the offseason. Billy Burns is a one dimensional player, SBs, and I hope someday he gets a chance to be a PT 4th OF player for Oakland. He's Billy Hamilton without the bat. The prospect I'm after is Dillon Overton. I saw him in college, and if (Big IF) he can recover from TJ surgery and start his pro career there might be a future SP for Oakland... Even though that might be a few years from now... Nice Trade Oakland!

Accept. I honestly feel like I'm giving up too much upside in this deal. I think Burns has nearly equal speed, and actually has a better hit tool and approach than Hamilton. Although, Hamilton does seem to be improving. Burns is also a better (higher SB%) base stealer. From what I've read, Overton has a high ceiling. However, he's got a long road to relevance. Crisp is currently raking and should help with SB, which I feel that I could possibly catch the league leader in. I'm obviously hoping to win it all this year but feel like I have a chance in 2015, as well. I will be losing a few OFs, so the added possibility of resigning Crisp at a 30% HTD also helps. Even if he will be eligible to receive senior citizen discounts at the buffet *I forgot to mention that Gomez has been nursing a sore hammy. He doesn't appear to be headed for the DL, but adding Crisp gives me another everyday CF option incase he does. This deal also gives me a bit of flexibility, so I can make another trade. Thanks O's.
