Thoughts on trading Brantley for Jon Gray? With only 4 OF spots Brantley is the odd man out so I've been shuffling him in and out of the UTIL spot. I know it comes down to who I feel will help me win more weeks. I feel like that's Gray, but I wonder if I can get someone a little more solid.

You answered your own question -- see what you can get.

Brantley's injury history scares me and until I see someone consistently defeat Coors Field, I'm reticent to trust a Rockies pitcher since I don't like streaming mostly road starts as that mitigates the organic skills bump enjoyed at home.

In other words, risk for risk, so that balances.

I've already kicked the tires and have gotten a no on Paxton, gio, Godley, weaver, and berries, understandably. But I thought I'd start high. Arrieta, clevinger, or roark are three other names that stand out as viable options.
