Since Kikuchi is under Arb let's see what the market for trading him looks like first before just cutting him for nothing. Even a lotto ticket prospect or two is better than letting him walk. Maybe we can tie that into something to fill one of our holes.

the solution is obviously to trade for byron buxton and then sign him to a huge extension

Yeah, Witt to SS is the move I was assuming we'd make with the trades

I think we start Leiter in the minors because there's legitimate reasons to do so. But if he's dominating and an improvement (or someone gets hurt and he's the clear best option) then don't service time fuckery him.

Trading for Reyes or Naylor seems like the best fit for our "one team's trash" philosophy that we started with

Thordain posted:I mean, if Benny is on the Ozzie Smith-Andrelton spectrum defensively we should probably move Bobby Bats right? Moving him over to second and trading HSK makes the most sense to me Yeah this is what feels like the play to me as well

isn't Hayes an elite defensive 3B I don't think we need to move him away from it

It looks like Buxton had 700 PAs last year why are his remains tattered also who did you hire as the new manager also also when I went looking for buxton on the leaderboards (because I remembered seeing him on the midseason ones) to check if he got hurt again I noticed that Kirilloff was sixth in XBH last year and 2nd in doubles across all of baseball  And this is a side note but lmao if he doesn't actually have 1B experience IcePhoenix fucked around with this message at 19:57 on Apr 19, 2021 |

I guess I shouldn't be shocked at OOTP not knowing anything about twins players but Kirilloff has been learning 1B for like three years IRL which is one of the reasons I suggested him

Keep Giles for at least this season - Flags fly forever and he's been absolutely filthy for us this entire LP (when healthy) Trade Marco - if he's not starting then his salary isn't worth it, obviously. Plus this frees up the money to extend Giles, if we want to. Extend the coaches since they seem to be doing a pretty good job and I think that Boston is a great place to start with trading Marco since they have that lefty reliever they want to get rid of for reasons

Thordain posted:Benny was great but the pitching staff just spent the whole year flexing on everyone. Allowing less than 500 runs all season puts us in Year of the Pitcher territory. I'm sure that's heavily influenced by how good the defense, which I assume was led by Benny, was.

Do the Trade that also answers our 3B problem Shop Trammel and Sheffield But if Sheffield will actually sign for 14-17 million AAV he might be worth just keeping around TBQH I don't really favor one guy over the others w/r/t extensions really.

If I'm remembering correctly, didn't you just import Pete from the previous LP where he had like maxed out scouting abilities? I think him just retiring/saying something to the owner that makes us fire him and us needing to replace him with an actual scout and deal with that is probably enough.

oldskool posted:The issue with replacing Pete, as it were, is that it doesn't add any additional challenge now. We already have a super team built, so unless we immediately start wheeling and dealing en masse the ratings the new scout gives won't be relevant for quite a while. I don't agree, we may have a core signed long term but we've been cycling players in and out pretty frequently.

Since Tavares refused to resign I assume that means he re-signed on a pretty good deal for us? That's awesome!

As for voting, Jawrocki seems like the kind of guy who always ends up as a reliever in my games so that's a hard pass from me. I'd probably go Zwick or NARD
