I also modified my vote to approve. JPS talked sense into me. I also think everyone will approve.
I just don't want to set a precedent where a team is willing to take a one year deal and then spin them for a new set of assets. It is rather clever. I get it you might be able to squeeze value out of Lamp, just tastes bad that's all.
I hate to break it to you, but these type of deals have been happening since the league's inception. And again, they are a realistic part of real world baseball. You're thinking way too far into this.
Think Juan Uribe. He was dumped to the Braves, who were able to flip him for a decent prospect after he started hitting. It's simply something that happens in baseball and doesn't hurt the league. When I said "assets", I meant actual, good, prospects (certainly 80+ peak). Anyone thinking straight would not give up more than a high 70s prospect if Lamp were hitting well and more likely to only net a mid 70s (a 5th or 6th round type) prospect.
For how Lamp honestly plays out with me, he goes to the DL, since he'll miss at least half of the games for sim 9. Then, I'd be hoping for good numbers in sim 10 to be able to get anything off of the waver wire. It's a long shot to get anything and even doing so, for only a month I bet I only get a small cash offer at best.
