Player acquisition
2. Trash Heap Players - theres good stuff in this dumpster I swear to God

Roster Strategy
2. Tank hard this year. - wouldn't be the Ms without some kind of lovely tank job

Team Strategy
3. Tactics because I want bewbies to suffer through building a complicated conditional depth chart

General Priorities
2. Pitching

Hitter Priorities (pick 2)
1. Power - i want a bunch of dudes who mash with absurd platoon splits
5. Speed - make em fast why not

Pitcher priorities:
3. Movement We live in the Stuff era of pitching, let's get the best Stuff
2. Relievers what if we made the team entirely of swingmen and long relievers

Coaching Staff
2. Fire manager, hitting, pitching coach

Try to get Voit I think we have pitching to deal. He'll have value in the future if he hits and we want to deal him again.

Extend Graveman since innings eating on low cost deals has value even as a trade chip.
Extend Knebel provided the third year is optional

Send Kelenic to MiLB. I had a visceral reaction to his statline. Woof.
Don't start the clock on J-Rod - this isn't our year yet and although a postseason appearance would be nice, we're not really set up to contend.

Arb Cuts
Murphy, Montero, Middleton.
Can Kim play 2B? his primary is listed as SS. If so, shop, then cut Moore.

3B
Cut Seager and try to find a Rule 5 guy or trashman / platoon.

Singings
Assuming Kim can play 2B, sign Lindor if there's a remotely decent deal to be had. SS is a position of need and scarcity and Lindor is extremely good.
See if there are any value FAs in the infield and outfield, especially platoon bats for 3B.

Trades
Move pitching vets for infield prospects, ideally a 3B that's up to a year or two out.

yeah i can get down with both trades for Witt and Hayes, Witt can play SS right? Then no Lindor, obviously. a COF bat should be easier to find...

I assume you mean Hayes when you say Bryant? Or I'm getting confused.

I think Witt at SS seems like a good idea. Kim 2B, Hayes 3B. Nice infield. Still want a corner bat of some kind, any cheap FAs that can rake? What's the Joc/Pham/Schwarber end of the market look like?

I'm sure that's heavily influenced by how good the defense, which I assume was led by Benny, was.

We were good in DE but we were also good in FIP so it wasn't just defense.

Coming along...slowly. He has a 75 power tool and did hit 16 dingers in 350 PAs last year so we're making progress. Think he could hit 30 over a full season now and might top off at 40-45 depending on how many games he gets into.

I guess his ISO isn't so bad, .170? puts you in IRL schwarber / pavin smith territory

Josh Lowe:
2) Execute and trade

Jesus Galiz:
1) Trade or decline arb

Nate Pearson QO:
2) Decline

Free agents. Pursue:
Either of the pitchers but don't go insane breaking the bank, if that fails
5) Sign a lesser free agent SP

Only thing I'm gonna disagree with on this is that we should keep Galiz if we can't find a good trade partner. Can't imagine that'll be the case, but we're not *that* desperate that we should throw away an excellent catcher.

this is not a team that can afford to pay 8 million bucks for a backup catcher. we have a 990 OPS cost controlled superstar catcher, what we need is an alive guy.

This almost a bit backwards, but it's probably good for how the thread likes to play (i.e. no full tank.)

1.) Scouting Director: Chris Nathan - we need a dude who can evaluate prospects and minor leaguers if we're going to rebuild. The bonus of him being an ability guy is that he'll evaluate players who are more polished and ready for the bigs as stronger prospects. This gives us a return of players who can be important pieces in a year or two rather than HS types that are going to take multiple seasons to mature.

2.) Mini-Rebuild: We may be able to push for another WS right now, but constantly trimming the edges to keep the prospect cupboard full lets us remain in contention for as long as possible. I'd trade the two players who give us the biggest return and restock the starting lineup with replacement level types or depth. We maybe should even consider taking on a little salary this year or next year if it helps secure a good prospect and we can afford it with the trades.

3.) Keep Julio if you can't trade him for a good piece. If we're to the end of his arbitration period, we might as well get the draft pick from him turning down the Qualified Offer.

I don't think Julio will turn down the QO and really don't want to take that risk so:

Nathan
Rebuild
Decline arb on Julio

I'm digging Corley, since that doesn't seem like much to give up for Jeff Kent but hopefully not an rear end in a top hat, but tell me how bad his fielding stats really are.

Glad to see we pulled the trigger on Corley, he seems legit, which means he will naturally flame out horribly and turn in to a lesser version of Todd Walker

I'm worried our hit rate on picks post-Pete is likely to be a bit lower, especially for the not-top-of-board picks you get when players decline QOs.

I like Ding (though arb cost is tough), and of the bats the only one that is interesting to me is Contreras. Let's win some batting titles.
