If the Dodgers want him I can see them turning him into something that could make this look bad. He has the vertical arm slot and curveball profile they like in their pitchers. I'm less annoyed by this than the Villar trade though for some reason. At least Stripling is controlled for 3 more years. How do their returns look like in comparison to what we got for our impending free agents?
One thing to remember about giving up Conine is the Jays have a reputation as of one of the better teams for developing hitters. They obviously weren't that confident in him. Striking out at 36% rate as a 22 year old in middle A ball is very bad.
