I believe we have sufficient offense but not enough excess to trade. Also not sure what we'd get in return without parting with one of the top 3 prospect bats.

It's almost as if fan angst based on a six week sample size early in the season is unwarranted. I once again go back to Donovan Solano having 5 RBI as May passed the 3/4 pole last year and thinking this guy is basically useless. And yet he was on of our most important sticks the rest of the way. Whouldathunkit?
Just for kicks and giggles, worth noting, that thus far there have been two all-stars in this draft and one of them (Brent Rooker) was drafted by the Twins.
The fact that Willi Castro leads the team in Games Played and Plate Appearances shows how flawed this team either IS or IS playing. Not sure which. Failure of high picks like Kirilloff and Larnach to produce is a symptom and a cause.
I understand that Margot has not performed anywhere near expectations so far but I also remember lamenting the fact that right around this time last year Donovan Solano was sitting on 5 RBI and he eventually became a key cog in the offense last year.
