[討論] Braves Open To Trading Jurrjens, Prado
The Braves have told some teams they would be willing to move Jair Jurrjens
and Martin Prado in a trade, a Major League source tells MLB.com's Mark
Bowman. Atlanta is known to be looking for a power-hitting outfielder and
possibly a new shortstop, so either could be acquired in a Jurrjens/Prado
trade, or at the very least the Braves could pick up some salary relief ---
both Jurrjens and Prado are arbitration-eligible for the second time this
winter.
The Braves and Royals have already discussed a Jurrjens trade, and the Braves
have an interest in minor league outfielders Lorenzo Cain and Wil Myers,
amongst several other prospects in K.C.'s deep farm system. The Royals are
known to be targeting veteran starting pitching on the trade market this
winter so the two sides would seem like a fit as trading partners. As Bowman
notes, Cain could be seen by the Braves as a future center field option if
Michael Bourn isn't signed to an extension.
Jurrjens was an All-Star in 2011, though the right-hander struggled badly (a
5.88 ERA) in the second half of the season and spent time on the DL with a
knee injury. While Jurrjens' health is a question mark, Myers also took a
minor step back (a .745 OPS in Double-A) in 2011 after being ranked as the
10th-best prospect in the sport in Baseball America's preseason rankings.
Myers is still just 20, however, and was converted to the outfield this year
after spending his first two pro seasons as a catcher.
After an impressive 2010 season that saw him finish ninth in NL MVP voting,
Prado took a step back in 2011, hitting .260/.302/.385 as Atlanta's everyday
left fielder. Prado's ability to play left, third, first and second base
would make him an intriguing trade possibility for a number of teams,
especially since he could be available at a somewhat buy-low price.
