Nolasco for Van Slyke?


Target Field of Dreams

Given our logjam of pitchers and the Dodgers rash of injuries...seems like we maybe could be a trade match with them.

 

Ideally we could give them Nolasco (he loved it there and he did alright for them) and they would give us Van Slyke. We could use the outfield defense and he absolutely crushes LH pitching.

 

I know what you are thinking...why would anyone in their right mind want Nolasco? And you are right...maybe we could throw in a lifetime membership to Calhoun Beach Club or something for the Dodger's owners as well? Nolasco's contract is chump change for them, so that probably wouldn't be much of a deterrent.

 

Really, a Nolasco for a bottle of California sunshine would be fine with me at this point as he seems to not want to be here or put the work in to be a decent player. It would give us a little more room to work in some of our younger pitchers and hopefully get them some experience to bring us to contending sooner.

I know this is a pipe dream...hey, that's an idea. Maybe we should trade him for a pipe. Any type will do...Tobacco, PVC, brass, aluminum...any and all would be more useful for the Twins

I was thinking bag of hammers, but, your suggestion works too.

Nolasco has to work pretty hard to build up his trade value, like 10-12 starts. And if he does, I would move him faster than a speeding bullet, although I'm not sure what to make of Alex Meyer in Rochester, and if Berrios can make the jump this season.

If I could trade Nolasco for any kind of pipe related gear, it would be for a pipe organ. Dueling organs at the Twins games? YES PLEASE!
