im being reasonable, the rest of mlb-age is talking up a AAAA player. take him back plz.
I like the deal.
Snider was once the #6 rated prospect in baseball. At 24, he is still ridiculously young and under team control until 2016. He's struggled at the Major League level in the past, but he has the potential to be a MONSTER, especially as a LH power hitter in PNC Park.
Lincoln was really good for us this year out of the pen, but you trade a reliever for a starting position player every day of the week. Twice on Sundays.
Snider is a legit power threat in a lineup that sorely lacks power. He's hit relatively well this season at both AAA and AL, despite the .250 AVG. Slide Snider into RF and you get a McGehee/Jones platoon at first base that should work wonders if McGehee ever decides to hit with any consistency.
