He's on the DL at Louisville. I'd throw in Cingrani with Chapman for Stanton. The Reds NEED Stanton!

Isn't he healthy and pitching in the minors?

Nope, on the DL.

How many times are you going to say that trade? :lol2: That's not happening.

If I say it enough, it WILL come true. :thumb:

Cingrani is probably the Reds 4-5th best pitching prospect. There's a fairly good chance he'll never be better than a 4 man in a rotation. I'd move him in a heartbeat.

It wasn't too long ago that the majority of this board considered Cingrani untouchable.

I bet Kevin Mitchell can still be had. That guy can just flat out hit. I don't care if he is 52. Liability in the field, though.

How about getting Lou Gehrig to play 1B? Then Votto can become the new "Wally Pipp".:sarcastic:

Not to me. Cingrani was a reliever in college. He has a live fastball, which is great for a lefty, but I don't see him as a front-line starter in the bigs.

Probably not but I'm not willing to sell him for a rental player when he could be a cheap asset on this team for the next 4-5 years.

I've often said he would be my first choice as closer in favor of turning Chapman into a starter. Cingrani did great as a closer during fill-in times, but he just hasn't progressed, and has had a few injury issues. Of course, watching Chapman deal yesterday in the 9th was pretty darned cool, too.

I think Cingrani would have more value than a one-year rental.

Cingrani can't close. He can't find the plate nearly enough to close.

I think you'd be shocked. Either way, Zobrist isn't a one-year rental. He's under control (and relatively cheap) for next season as well.

Do a low ball deal with Arizona to get Didi back if you're desperate. Has a big league glove and can play 2B, SS (looking at you Zach) and may eventually hit. If I'm making a trade, its for a guy with some bad intentions in his bat and those guys play 1B, 3B or LF.
