East Links: Ramos, Red Sox, Jones

By Steve Adams | November 13, 2011 at 10:31pm CDT

A late-night snack for those of you with a hunger for news on baseball's two Eastern divisions:

  • Even after his kidnapping, Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos plans to begin playing for the Aragua Tigres on Wednesday of this week, tweets Mark Zuckerman of CSNwashington.com.
  • FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal tweets that the Red Sox will conduct a second interview with Dale Sveum and least one other candidate in their search for a new manager.
  • While the organization doesn't sound like they're considering the idea, CSNbaltimore's Rich Dubroff wonders if the Orioles should entertain the thought of trading Adam Jones. Dubroff quotes one rival scout who thinks they should hang onto the 26-year-old center fielder, saying: "If they're willing to move him, they're stupid."

      I don’t blame him for going back, but me personally, I’d take time off and try to recuperate from an experience like that.

      I’m sure he’ll have more security this time though.

        Reportedly, he wants to get back to playing because playing will be the best thing for him psychologically.  And yes, he has more security now.  The really sad part about all this is that although he lives in the “bad part” of town, he had been planning to move, with his family, to a safer neighborhood…on December 1st.  Think that’s getting moved up a little.

    The Orioles have two years of team control on Jones, who will be worth 3.4 and 3.9 WAR respectively if he improves by 0.5 WAR (standard aging curve) over each of those seasons. It’d be silly not to see what type of prospects he could fetch.

      When you suck, I’d argue that it’s stupid to NOT see if you can get lots of potentially good future pieces for a good one now that really isn’t helping you do anything but finish last.

        Its a good and valid point, unless that player is 26 and under team control for the foreseeable future, with upside to INCREASE his trade value.  Granted there is risk he could get hurt / decline, but at 26, with his pedigree, its worth continuing to monitor.

              He is one of the best. Who’s better? Kemp, Granderson, McCutchen, and Ellsbury for sure. Maybe Victorino. He’s a pretty damn good player. I don’t think the Orioles would want Cahill and Gonzalez. Gonzalez is getting worse every year, and Cahill gets killed in that division.

    Adam Jones to the Braves makes a ton of sense. Too much sense in fact. The Orioles want some pitching and the Braves need a RHH OF with some pop and range.

      It is very hard to justify trading a major league CF, who has a gold glove, who is looking better each year and is only 26.  While in a vacuum that isn’t a terrible deal, the Orioles won’t trade him for that.

    You have to trade something good to get something good. Would you trade Markakis before Jones? A good player and two years of control is worth a lot to GM’s. I would still choose Markakis.
    Ellsbury is a better player with two years left, what would he be worth to the Braves or other teams?

        Markakis’s trade value is way too low right now given his contract and declining offensive performance.  Jones’s value, to some, will never be higher.  I think with Jones about to reach his prime (based on age) it really makes no sense to trade him until we see how his value can climb, or even more importantly, if he can actually help the team go over the hump.  

        Given there are risks such as injury and decline but thats baseball.
