    Castillo is great if we can get him. Also we need relief help. We should look into Pittsburgh's closer Bednar. Pittsburgh's not going to win anything. So they might in the mood for a trade.
  2. Stew
    Why don't we try something novel. Trade martin and Richardson for a high end starter. I'm sure Oakland wanted one of those two players. Maybe we could trade Bundy as a throw in. Remember get quality vs. quantity.
  3. Stew
    We need a true veteran ace at top of rotation. Maybe someone even better than evoldi. We would have to use better prospects to get one. Off limits would be lewis and Austin. Also need one more b.p. arm. Josh Bell is a yes . I've thought he would have been a good target even before the season.
  4. Stew
    I don't think we need a starter unless a great deal comes along. I think we should look for a veteran 1st baseman or catcher.
  5. Stew
    I said in the off season we should have looked at a couple of 1st baseman on the market. We went other directions. Sano was not a great option. He was the worst fielding in the league at his position. Now we should split time between arraez and Miranda. At least till we bring back kirilloff back.
  6. Stew
    Sano is not capable of learning. At the end of last year they changed the way he hit. They made him wait on the ball till it got further in on the plate. This gave him a better look at the pitch. And made him follow the ball with his eyes longer. It worked well. His second half was good. He has a quick bat and more than enough power to wait. He forgot everything he was taught.
  7. Stew
    He is the best total player in baseball. He is top 5 in every category if healthy. I think we will see him on the field for 130 plus games this year. If that's true and he keeps hitting at this level he will on target for 72 hrs., 142 rbi's ,48 doubles. That at 130 games. Would that make him mvp?
  8. Stew
    That's good put Rocco in c.f. make Buxton manager.. let's face it he would fall down the steps or get hit by a ball. Or maybe a meteor would hit him like one scientist predicted. Anyway you look at it. If he gets hurt he gets hurt. Keep him in the field and have a few highlights.
  9. Stew
    Brandon27 is right. I said as soon as Cron was a free agent get him back. Sano is the worst fielding first baseman. He played a big part in us loosing to Boston with his error. I know we will be looking at pitchers but a first baseman makes sense
  10. Stew
    All of us knew ahead of time everything you were going to say about sano. It's the same every year. But next year he gets 14 million. We can not wait the money. So here's my idea. Wait and see if a contending nation league team needs a dh. Find someone who will trade us a defensive 1 st baseman. Sano led the team with 15 errors last year. Maybe that improves the team.
  11. Stew
    We have no proven closer. But Rodgers wasn't approved closer. Plus he seems to get hurt. I like the competition we have . After the first two games pitching seems ok. Our hitters better get going.
  12. Stew
    Heiny has a great take on this. We need inning eaters. Name me one season in the last 25 years were we didn't use at least 7 or 8 starters. We are not sure about Archer and bundy's return to form . And no one can tell about the young arms. I liked Rodgers too. But the padres have 7 possible starts. And now they improve their bullpen.
  13. Stew
    Maybe I've been asleep but what happened to Austin martin? If he's with the twins he should be on this list.
  14. Stew
    I'm not worried about there minor league talent. Only 4 to 6 players will be brought up next year. They are due to pick very high in the next draft. And they already are looking at three very good international players in that draft. The only way they loose some players is thru trades for good veteran players. I settle for that.
  15. Stew
    I agree with heiny. Almost everybody on this site has all said we need to get out from under Donaldson's contract . Now that we have it's a fire sale. I think it's a good thing that we have spent about 100 mill. It leaves us enough to add one of the Oakland pitchers in a trade. Maybe paneda too. We still could get story. And find another catcher for depth.
  16. Stew
    You just got polanko to all-star level. Don't change what is working. If you have try the young guys at shortstop so be it. Also you still look to trade Donaldson. If nl does dh. See if giants would use him. There third basemen will be like 37 this year. Could they rotate the two of them between 3rd and dh. Maybe we get a reliever out of the deal. Probably not any kind of starter but who knows
  17. Stew
    I agree with getting him back. I didn't want to see him go. 8 million is not that bad . That's probably what we would give penada.the two would be 16 million. Leaving us at least that much more to spend on one or two players. It doesn't hurt our young pitchers. We only have 3 starters at this point. How many years has this team went were we don't have starter or 2 injured? I also would like to see rodon in a twins uniform.
  18. Stew
    There are other options. The twins should not go back to those two players. They will both be problems on defense. The twins should look for a trade. There are some possible s.s. available. When you have a winner at one position like polanko. Don't change what's working.
  19. Stew
    One more point. They say garver would have value as a dh. In two years who will we have as dh. Sano? Donaldson? They will both be gone. And we pay our backup catchers next to nothing. So add up the totals. Sano due for 14 million, Donaldson due 21 million. That obligation being gone then you can pay garver 10 plus million a year. Baseball in my mind is like anything else just crunch the number and becomes easier to figure out what to do. You still may not get your dream team. But that's life.
  20. Stew
    Name me any catcher in the majors with as good of stats for what he is paid. Would we do like we did with the pitching and get a bunch of hapless players. Sorry for the play on words. But we need to spend the money trading up for quality not quantity. And who would we get to catch?
  21. Stew
    Yes , who can we get to replace him?
  22. Stew
    When I said sano could hit better if he did what he did in the second half of the season. I don't think he will ever be a Cruz. But if he would hit .240 to .250 range he would then be trade bait. The best thing that could happen is the dh in the other league. I'm like everyone else. I would like him gone. His contract calls for 14 million next year. That's one good pitcher.
  23. Stew
    Sano's biggest problem was he was trying too hard to get on top of the pitch. He was swinging too hard. After the all-star break, they changed how he would swing at the ball. They made him let the ball get over the plate further. He has fast enough hands. This let him see the ball longer. So if he continues on this way the hitting could be much better. The problem is he had I think 14 errors at 1st. He led the league. I believe 6 we're throwing errors. We have to move him to dh. But that means we will have to do something with Donaldson.
  24. Stew
    He finished the stronger than he started. I think he will figure it out. It's funny how many players have one of there better years going into free agency years.
  25. Stew
    One note of interest, we have 13 pitchers in the minors who are suppose to be in the majors by 2022 or 2023 at the latest. Pitch them in the majors or trade some of them . But don't wait forever.
