May helped his value.

[RichieRichSTL]

With a very solid performance. If you only are offered a lottery ticket, keep him as he has more value in helping this team making the playoffs than some player that odds are he won't do much.

If they were 10 games under .500 you trade him for what you can get. They have a puncher chance to make the playoffs, so keep him if playoffs is only a loytery ticket.

Do you see trade him before his next start? Another solid effort builds up his value, but another 5 inning 5 runs effort hurts it.

[Jobu's Rum]

Not nearly enough, his numbers for the season are pitiful. Not enough to even get anything of value.

The team is regressing to what we thought they would be

Trade him before his next start.

[RichieRichSTL]

Trade him before his next start.

He has shown the he recovered from the 2 gamr overuse at the time of his 1 hitter.

He has shown that if you limit his pitches, he will probably give you a QS. That has some value. He doesn't have to be a TOTR starter. If he can slot in as a 4th starter on a team with limited pitching solid depth, he can make those games more winnable
If the Nationals had May for example, with the offense they have that could make a huge difference.

But trade him on a high note... any team will take a game like this any day. Not flawless, but gives them a good chance to win.

Playoffs!?



Oh. You're serious.

[Melville]

May's value was the same 24 hours ago as it is at this moment.
And if still a Cardinal after his next start, the value will be unchanged regardless of the outcome.
Teams already know who they are targeting and what they are willing to pay.

20% not great. But if all thet get is a 5% of making the majors, then worthless trade.

May needs to go via trade

The Carrot Top Era needs to come to a close in the 314

Mostly true, but if did a 2 inning, 7 run clunker then its harder to sell to owner and fanbase. If perfect game, easier to sell. At this point, it only will affect if a deal is made more than anything. Good performance helps a bit.

He's not awful, but he's not the savior either. Not the future either at what he will expect $$.

I agree. 1 start isn’t going to change a GM’s mind over his value. CT posters yes. GM’s no.

[ecleme22]

You remove Mays first start, and that 0.2 innings 5 earned runs on July 2nd…

He’s 18 starts, 10 QS and a 3.84 era

He’s totally trade bait.

Another bad start would hurt his value more than another good start would help it.

And another start where he leaves due to some sort of injury would be really bad for his value, maybe even making him untradeable depending on the injury.

Exactly!! I have not wanted to trade him but I now think he should be traded. We have a couple of young arms to fill in so let’s give it a try.

He has more value than most think. In the right situation he can be a good asset for a team in contention. But Melville is right. It is foolish to think one good or bad game significantly changes his value at this point.

His 3.15 FIP ranks 10th in baseball and his 3.92 SIERA ranks 31st. Oh, and he's on a very reasonable contract. He's got value especially in a trade market that is very limited in terms of available rentals.

But you can't, it is all part of the equation.

They will get future considerations for him in the form of a low minor league player or two.
