    I am going to add that I would be cool with Winder getting a few starts while Cueto spends time in extended spring training after signing. But we really could use more depth.
  2. Brandon
    I would agree with you but since I think Bundt is a 50/50 odds for success at this point, I would rather we have another starter at the beginning of the season and we can always start replacing as we go. I mean right now we are looking at: Grey, Bundy, Winder, Ober, Ryan in reserve we have Duran if not in the pen, Balazovich, then a drop off to Sands, Richardson-Woods, then Strotman, Jax, other castoffs in our system. We don’t have much in the ready category for 7th starter and beyond.
  3. Brandon
    Ober is not a rookie. While he is going through his sophomore season, if he shows he can pitch this year then odds are he's made it. I do agree that we should probably have another starter if for no other reason then to give us more options. Though Winder does look legit so far.

    This post didn't age well. We got Correa and we are still on the hunt for pitching and Montas is still available..... stay tuned
  5. Brandon
    I can see the A’s holding out for Canterino or Balazovich and Miranda and maybe another minor leaguer for Montas this would give the A’s a replacement for one of Chapman or Olsen and a Rotation replacement soon.

    I put the average down in case Sanchez, Rooker, and Sano have a low average to make up. But Arreaz getting around 100 PA should help the average department. Since the DH will be shared anyone could spike or drop their production. Will be fun to watch play out.
  7. Brandon
    Going for the hat trick.
  8. Brandon
    I put that out there as a floor. If we add 20 points to batting average then DH is nearly .800 OPS and that should be fine.
  9. Brandon
    I think we will be fine at DH. I don’t expect a lot of stolen bases. But 25 -30 Hrs isn’t out of the question. Maybe a .230/.320/.430. Not horrible not great. But definitely lots of power. We will be fine now about LF…..
  10. Brandon
    Well this gives us the top 2 picks from the 2012 draft. Since we picked 2nd we knew we’d get 1. But why not get both to play here.
  11. Brandon
    Rortvedt seems a little high on WAR don't you think? and can Donaldson and Garver stay that healthy? so its 9.7 WAR for 5.6 WAR + Story at 4.5 = 10.1 WAR and salary traded = 29.7 million and new money = lets go with 22 for story and 25.15 = 47.15 million.
  12. Brandon
    at the end of the day, this is essentially a three team trade with the Rangers and Yankees. Garver, Donaldson, Revordt to the Yankees and Rangers while the Rangers get Garver and the Yankees get Donaldson, Falefala, and Revordt and we get 2 prospects and Sanchez and Urshala and a cash savings. We downgraded in overall talent but not by a whole lot and freed up capital. we sign Story and get another good starter and reliever then this trade is a huge win because it gives us the capacity to accomplish those things. if we do not, then what a waist. so for now the trade is graded as incomplete because the remaining moves will determine if it is successful or not.
  13. Brandon
    What about the Chuck Knoblauch trade? That one worked out…. Phil Hughes?
  14. Brandon
    Exactly! This trade caught me off guard if we sign Story then I apologize to Falvey and Levine for not trusting you! Although at this time I prefer the players we started with. But with the added flexibility we get Story or Correa then blam nice off-season.
  15. Brandon
    I question the lineup at this point. Let’s see though. DH Sano 1B Killeroff 2B Polanco SS Felafa 3B Donaldson RF Kepler CF Buxton LF Rooker or Larnarch or Miranda? C Jeffers ok if Jeffers can OPS over .750 and Falefa can get over .700 I will feel better and someone needs to win LF and run with it. we could use at least 1 more starter. Maybe a pen arm.
  16. Brandon
    I forget we are probably competing for that 12th playoff seat. Anything can happen in the playoffs. You just gotta believe.
  17. Brandon
    The Twins were rumored to be in on Jonny Cueto
  18. Brandon
    Exactly not exactly a win now move.
  19. Brandon
    I do like the move as a win now. Just that the team has been a transition team all offseason to date and subtracted offense when they didn’t have to yesterday
  20. Brandon
    By signing Bundt you are buying time for a minor leaguer to step up and take his job.
  21. Brandon
    Exactly
  22. Brandon
    This move is a head scratcher in that this is the first win now move they made all offseason. All of the other moves said this is a transition year. We could have had Bassit for so much ch less
  23. Brandon
    I guess the biggest positive about this trade is that I don’t have to be vested in this season so I probably will not follow them as much this year. This doesn’t feel like a good trade at all.
  24. Brandon
    So we trade a catcher and 200 OPS points to gain a SS and maybe 80 OPS points gain. Why not resign Simmons and keep Garver? We come out ahead this way.
  25. Brandon
    The Twins did resign Minaya today to a minor league deal. So we have that to talk about. but I will say we trade for Bassit and extend him. And sign Pineda at SS we signed several options so look for some other low level signing to compete for SS. And sign an inexpensive OF to compete for LF with other in house options.
