I agree it would take some years with many adjustments along with maturity and growth but the stuff is there. Randy didn't become a HoF over night and the Expos didn't think much of him and got lucky he was traded to us. We'll know in about 5 yrs if Woo is the real deal.
Just my personal opinion is if Woo were to be involved in a package to the Mets I bet they’d pay most of the salary and not need extra prospects. Prospects are nice and all but getting a young controllable proven big leaguer with one prospect is worth more than getting say a Emerson, Ford, Laz and insert mid tier prospect package
I get they are a really crappy organization, but no way does anyone in that organization think they could get that right? I know I just said proven vs prospects but I wouldn’t be thrilled if the M’s give up their top 5 prospects for Robert. If he is healthy then IMO he is worth it, but he is Kyle Lewis
Also steals bases.
FO had one too many drinks if they think they'll get that type of return.

Maybe we can just give them Sebby Zavala and some reliever that hasn't pitched all year due to injury for him.Report: D-backs will listen to trade offers for ex-Mariners 3B Suárez
Less than half a season into his time in Arizona, former Seattle Mariners 3B Eugenio Suárez could be on the trade block again.
Who cares if the D-Backs are "willing" to listen to offers for a struggling Eugenio Suarez... Struggling hitters are the last people we should be looking at to add to this already anemic offense... M's better not be "willing" to entertain this idea...
Lane Thomas seems like a bit of a gamble. He's 29 years old. After years of laboring in the BJs and Cards minor league systems, he becomes a late bloomer on a perennial sub-.500 team. These types worry me a bit. I don't think I would trade Woo for him. Maybe Miller or Hancock. What I'd really like to see is for the Ms to expand on this potential trade and also get one of their four fine relievers (Floro, Finnigan, Law, Harvey).
I wouldn't trade a top prospect for him or a current MLB pitcher for him. I pick him because I know with Jerry you have to pick a guy that isn't solid but has flaws and is cheap. I typically look at top guys and eliminate them right off. Then I go to second tier and remove them. Then I get to the third tier and start to wonder if they fit and if the price would be right. That is where I came up with Thomas. Plus he is under 30 which would be a nice change for Jerry.
