What would we realistically have to give up to get someone like Adam Eaton?

 

Would Stroman, Urena and Greene be enough? We have Zuech, Harris and SRF to make up for Greene. And then stretch out Biagini as a starter.

That's a good sign for my progress here lol, I'm usually way under..

 

How about this?

 

McCutchen for Pillar, Greene, Harris + Contract

 

Maybe Travis + Urena + Maese/Espada and eat the contract. Sign Pearce for 2B.

There are enough stop gaps and free agents out thier still and we don't give up the farm!

Yes he can... the Pirates org admitted they played him too shallow, this season. He's too athletic not to be a good CF'er.

So Joyce, Pagan, Jay and Desmond. Because Saunders,Bautista and Beltran can't even play OF anymore they are so bad and I wouldn't touch Rasmus with a 20 foot pole.

 

Plus Jon Jay isn't very good and Ian Desmond is much better as an infielder.

That seems like something they would adjust for during the season and the comment suggests a coach should be fired.

Pagan and Gomez for the outfield !

 

Thames Pearce Rodriguez for the infield!

 

Mathis or Hunley for back up catcher!

 

Pompey up with the team!

 

Upton and Smoak traded, maybe Zeke and cola too!

For minors, pen help or PTBNL

 

Barney not sure and Goins to the minors ?

 

New roster should be faster, allow roster flexibility, steal 45-60 more bases next year and have some decent pop as well.

 

None should require long term deals, or crazy amounts of money and the minors is intact!

 

Our minors should be fully ready to supply talent to the big leagues and our Jays team soon !

I think Shapiro would say no to Votto before Votto says no to the Jays.

 

Great player, but seven more years at age 34? No thanks.

Apparently Wacha could be available, and probably wouldn't cost an arm and a leg (just one of the two). If we were to trade Estrada for a comparable outfielder and trade for Wacha, that would be a good swap (save us some money too). Wacha has 3 arbitration years left I think.

One presumably cheap trade target could be Preston Tucker as a platoon mate for Upton. He had a shoulder issue last year, but pretty consistent minor league numbers.

Is that all Estrada gets us? If he puts up another solid season and manages to stay healthy, you'd think we could get a pretty good haul for him at the deadline (provided we were out of it).

If they're gonna outbid everyone, then good for them.

It's Jim Bowden, I'd take it with a grain of salt

His upside is probably average defensively (maybe a tad below), but I don't think he's likely as bad as the small sample sizes indicate. I mean there's certainly other players I'd rather, but it all depends on cost (and willingness to sign). If we spend in other areas, we have to save somewhere. Tucker is the kind of target who could come into play in that scenario.

Played some MLB the Show today and completed the first offseason in Franchise mode and simulated the two months so far of 2017. Just for fun.

 

Some key moves that I made during the offseason:

 

- Signed Charlie Morton to a 2 year deal.

 

- Signed Mike Napoli to a 1 year deal.

 

- Apparently Tex didn't retire in the game yet, so signed him to a cheap 1 year deal.

 

- QO on EE and Bautista. Bautista did accept the QO so I'm stuck with him. EE signed a 4 year deal with the Cubs lol.

 

- Traded JA Happ, Melvin Upton Jr and a decent prospect to the Angels for Kole Calhoun.

 

- Signed Justin Turner to a 2 year deal.

 

- Signed Jarrod Dyson to a 1 year deal.

 

- traded for Boone Logan (Rockies resigned him).

 

- signed Francisco Rodriguez to a cheap 1 year deal before ST.

 

Here is what my roster looks like:

 

2B Devon Travis

3B Josh Donaldson

DH Jose Bautista

SS Troy Tulowitzki

RF Kole Calhoun

1B Mark Teixeira/Mike Napoli platoon

C Russell Martin

CF Kevin Pillar

LF Jarrod Dyson/Justin Turner

 

BN Justin Turner (playing him everyday all over)

BN Mike Napoli (starts at 1B against LHP)

BN Jon Jay (Pompey got injured so he's my new 4th OF now)

BN Carlos Ruiz

 

Rotation:

 

SP Aaron Sanchez

SP Marcus Stroman

SP Francisco Liriano

SP Marco Estrada

SP Charlie Morton

 

Bullpen (Grilli retired, have Biagini in AAA since he's not rated that high):

 

RHP Matt Shoemaker (picked him up in Rule 5 lol)

RHP Juan Nicasio

RHP Francisco Rodriguez

LHP Aaron Loup

LHP Boone Logan

RHP Daniel Hudson

CL Roberto Osuna
