Some things change, but franchise cornerstone cube catchers remain the same.

Build through prospects

Emphasis on hitting, focus on bullpen and velocity for pitching.

Sabermetrics.

Pete is scouting director, end of story. :colbert:

PROPOSAL: Starlin Castro is on his last guaranteed year with a somewhat expensive club option for next year, so this is probably the best time to flip him. He's not going to bring back blue chips, but I say stick him on the block and see if anybody offers us some lottery tickets Pete takes a liking to.

The Opener

Castro for JD Martinez, Jeets wants his star hitter he'll get him.

Alcantara and Steckenrider for Cube Catcher, we'll find another closer.

Chen for Ryu, if OOTP is simulating even remotely accurately Ryu is good and will give us a solid year of production which might help us hit that .500 mark.

Get Sims.

Make an offer on Kimbrel just to see what his price is. I don't think a closer is going to do us much good but it can't possibly make us worse, so...

Plus we can just trade him at the deadline.

What do we even have AAA-wise in starters we could call up? Or are there any washup free agents we can snag on a minor league deal?

Sure, but on the other hand we could have the 3-4 hole hitters be the dual absolute units Astudillo and Backstrom.

Rendon and Hamamura should lock up a relatively competitive IF, particularly when some of our SS guys prospects start being ready.

What does Alex Wood want? He's not an ace but he seems like a steady MOR guy we could get relatively cheap to sure up the rotation.

Also trade for Archer, and move Esteban for the best we can get, pitching or otherwise.

I know we're the ones who voted for him to scout but my god Pete is a loving cheat code. We've gone from the absolute dregs of MLB to a projected >.500 team with the best farm in baseball. In a year. :lol:

As much as I want to draft IRONFIST, I agree Perez has to be our target.

4) Bring back the dinger machine. :colbert:

I really wanna know what calculations OOTP is doing under the hood to make Stroman think he's worth a Scherzer++ contract. :lol:
