Rasiel Iglesias is someone i'd love to target. Moved to the bullpen this past season and was pretty damn good.

 

I believe they did that to save his arm... if you heard different, I'm all in.

He was dealing with some injuries this year.

 

No idea if moving him to the pen was a one year thing.

 

Would still love to get him though.

My ideal moves for the offseason would look like this... (I'm assuming Edwin ends up in BOS for ridiculous $$$)

 

1. Trade for Votto, probably costs something involving Travis or Stroman + which I'm totally fine with honestly... an above average 1B with a career .313 AVG & a .425 OBP from the left side is exactly what this roster needed for 2016 and didn't have.... and for those questioning his fielding he had a .994 fld% in 158gms this year... so shut it.

 

2. If the Mets end up having to re-sign Cespedes after his opt-out & decline Jay Bruce's $13m option that's who I go after to play RF, however would also be interested in Reddick for a 3yr term...

 

3. If Edwin can be resigned, this is his spot, if not I'm looking at an economical body on a short deal here... a guy like Morneau, or Alvarez... maybe even Colabello if he can get his act together

 

4. Rotation is fine, even if Stro were dealt, I think Biagini challenges for a rotation spot next year anyhow.. Sanchez, Happ, Estrada, Liraino, Biagini still looks pretty good... re; bullpen, if Cecils ask is reasonable, sign him.. if not look at Boone Logan as a nice lefty option.

Fielding percentage is a terrible way to evaluate a defensive player. You could probably put Martin at SS and he'd put up a similar percentage to all other players, but he wouldn't get to nearly as many balls.

 

That said, Votto's year defensively last year was probably an aberration. I wouldn't pay a ton to get him since you're already taking on a very large contract that could be real ugly towards the end (certainly not Stroman, it would have to come more from the prospect side imo).

Darvish

 

Exacty what I was going to post

 

Get high hopes we get disappointed (Darvish, Chapman, Votto)

 

Expect little we get pleasantly suprised (Donaldso, Tulo, Price)

If you squint really hard and don't buy his -10 defense, Bruce isn't that gross on something like a 1/8 deal. He's basically Saunders.

Greg Holland is coming back from TJ and is a FA. Might be worth a flyer.

 

3 consecutive 2+ WAR seasons as a reliever before he went down. Yes please.

Some team desperate for power will probably give Bruce a 1/15 type of deal in a weak market. Probably was in line for a 4/5 year deal before his struggles with the Mets down the stretch.

People are going to be let down when Votto doesn't come here

 

I don't want Votto at all with what he'd cost. I doubt Shatkins would either.

I'm squinting really hard here and I just don't see it. He probably projects around 100wRC+ going forward while being a butcher in RF. Sounds like a recipe for a replacement level shitbag.
