Kyle McCulloch

[nutjobs]

what are your thoughts on him?

I was offered this in my league Evan Longoria and Kyle McCulloch for Micah Ownings and Brandon Wood. I know a lot about everybody else in the deal but not this guy.

I would do this deal, but not for McCulloch. He could possible be a decent addition somewhere down the road, but I doubt it. He is a pretty safe bet, as safe as bet you'll find anyway, to make the Majors, but isn't going to be a #1 or #2, or 3 for that matter. Back of the rotation guy. So far this season, he is 5-5 with a 3.55 ERA. 58-27 k/bb, 1.41 WHIP. One thing he does do very well, however, is not give up HR. He's only given up 2 all season in 78 IP.

If you're receiving Wood and Owings I would def. do this then. McCulloch is a mediocre prospect at best, while Owings is a possible front of the rotation guy IMO.

I'm not getting wood and ownings im the one that has them sorry for the confusion.

Then I would stick with what you have. Wood may not necessarily be better than Longoria right now, but he has more power potential IMO. McCulloch is not worth dealing for. I would much rather have Owings.

You could possibly try and trade out McCulloch for Volstad, but like I said, I do the deal regardless. Longoria is the best prospect in this deal and I think in 2008, he will be comparable to Alex Gordon. Wood just K's too much for my liking, I'd hate to see what Big League pitchers can do to him.

[FalcoAtL]

Volstad is undoubtedly better than McCulloch. I would stick with him.

I think Longoria is the best player in the deal. Wood isn't very impressive to me, have never really liked him. If you could work out a deal involving those 2 without giving up Owings I think it would be much better for you.
