    This signing must be paired with a trade of Kepler/Larnach/Austin/Arraez If not it makes no sense. The shift ban will help Gallo and his ability to walk will be a bonus. His K rate will annoy most like Sano did. Arraez is one I don't want to see go the most, but his knees will shorten his career no doubt - we will have to let someone go we like, but that is the price to pay for #1 or 2 to slot into our rotation

    Expect Kepler to be gone, so Wallner may be there.
  3. mickster
    Arreaz and Kepler for Lopez would hurt as both hitters will benefit from the shift ban, more so Kepler. However pitching is needed and it will hurt to acquire it.
  4. mickster
    Steer is a Red

    I may be in the minority, but I don't think Sale fits the bill as an ACE. He is oft injured as well and the juice would not be worth the squeeze for the price we would pay. Now Glasnow - that is worth Kepler and Martin, or possibly Arraez. Arraez is amazing, but those Tony O knees will shorten his career

    The pitcher can go over a 3rd time, but an unsuccessful attempt results in a basically a balk as the runner gets bumped

    I have hopes that Correa opts in to prove his "down" year was just that. Judge is a dream, as it would allow the Twins to deal Kepler for more pitching. Realistically, I am not sure if any of them sign -but then if you would have told me we would sign Correa last winter I might still be laughing, so anything is possible. We will need a C though as well. Sano we all know is gone, but Kepler, Palacios and Gordon - along with one top pitching prospect will need to be used to secure some arms and maybe a 1B with Kiriloff being a question mark now

    I think we sign him up for 10 years and then we talk.................hopefully these moves get us into the postseason and Carlos sees the future that is her and those coming (Lewis will be utility, or dumped - sorry but his injury history bugs me so they need to move him around the IF, to RF or flip him) but we have some things building..............need to get a C in the off season though and another P

    Sano related moves.

    mickster commented on Doc Munson's blog entry in Fantasy GM

    I agree that Urshela is not part of the future, but has been needed this year. If we can get a RP for him, then dump him. The Kepler injury will make this decision easy if he is on the IL. If not, then Garlick will be sent down as he has options left IF Sano gets hot then a tough decision to make as he can carry a club - but would be then ripe to part with as he needs to go.

    We have to give to get - but we can't afford a rental and sacrifice the next 4-6 years. Austin Martin would have been a great chip to flip, but has regressed. Steer and maybe now Wallner has pushed into that category. Larnach or Kiriloff may need to be part of the package, and with Larnach now hurt his value is down. I am hoping Kiriloff stays. Kepler may draw some interest.
  11. mickster
    He can hold down the fort until we go get a b/u for Sanchez
  12. mickster
    Agree about Lynn. The Pressley trade is one that wasn't popular at the time - but will prove to be a win for both teams which is good. No one wanted to see Dozier leave, but him leading off a WS for the Dodgers and then getting ring with the Nationals was good to see - and Smeltzer has a shot to provide the asset we needed from this deal
  13. mickster
    With the requirement that each team have a representative, I am thinking neither will make it. Arraez is the clear pick with C-4 having a shot as well.
  14. mickster
    Prospects will be the way to an impact deal. Kepler/Urhela may get you a reliever rental. Martin and Miranda may get the A's or Reds talking
  15. mickster
    Miranda or Gordon should be the casualty to get Kiriloff back to Target......
  16. mickster
    I agree that Soto is up due to both Polanco and Gordon nursing injuries. When both are healthy Soto will be DFA 'd and Gordon should got to AAA. Don't need him in the OF and Arreaz can move around the infield if needed.............I like Nick, but he is expendable and might be a throw in for a deal for a SP/RP
  17. mickster
    I do believe he is one that will need to be in a deal. Royce Lewis made himself almost untouchable, and without Correa secured beyond this year Lewis has to stay. We will need to overpay, but need to be careful as one SP won't get us to the end goal. However, a controllable top third of the order pitcher will come with a price of Martin+.
  18. mickster
    The roster needs to be juggled. Correa will be back soon, so no room for Palacios. Duffy needs to be DFA'd. Kiriloff needs to move across town. I would like to see a package of Kepler, Palacios and another piece to get some pitching.
  19. mickster
    I liked the trade when it happened as it was becoming clear that Berrios was not going to sign. Now I am hoping we can use Martin as an asset to land us a top pitcher soon.
  20. mickster
    Only to trade him
  21. mickster
    So when Larnach comes back we know Miranda should go. What if Kiriloff builds on last night and needs to be back at 1B, who then goes? My guess is Garlick. Still no room for Lewis - unless an injury hits and we don't need that. I am torn on Lewis up or down. IF, and a huge IF Correa was going to sign a long term deal then we could start the move to 3B or OF, but for now Lewis needs to play SS if that is his future. Would like to see the team package either Martin or Miranda with lower prospects for a SP though
  22. mickster
    Martin will be trade bait for a rental at the deadline if Lewis proves he can stay
  23. mickster
    Miranda isn't ready, so he goes down when Correa is back. Move Lewis around a bit while managing Correas time back as SS/DH. See if Correa is serious about signing long term without opt outs and get it done. If so then you transition Lewis to be a 3B/LF, if not he will take over at SS next year.
  24. mickster
    Sit Sano and when he gets hot TRADE HIM. He can hit 30+ bombs for someone else as he loses as many games as he wins. Trading now gets us nothing, when he is hot we could get someone to put in the rotation; although the starters ERA is below 3.00 right now
  25. mickster
    Lets see if we can dump Sano or Arreaz with Martin to Oakland and land someone in the top half of our rotation.
