Yup, she headed the high performance team.

 

I think Butler actually headed that team. Love the hiring though as you can't go wrong hiring a Dukie.

Those guys are full on in that entirety.... yes, it's good Hurl. I know personally they hated Delgado's front, team. As I was told he was hitting wall screamers to pounding then in the 2nd/3rd deck plus, take it from there bud, lol.

Heyman saying the Jays still lurking in the JDM sweepstakes along with Cain. Have also contacted the Padres about Hand. Don’t see any of this happening, but I guess it sounds like a clear message that they’re still leaning towards going for it in 2018.

Trade JD for MLB ready talent and sign JDM? Might be the only way to make the 2018 team better without JD.

Travis is such a nice guy. He's a 3 to 4 win player if he can stay healthy. I knew goins and Barney played a lot last year, but 459 plate appearances for Goins and 362 for Barney; that's just gross. We need Tulo and Travis to be reasonably healthy and both get 100 or more games in. Add in Diaz to the mix and it's going to be a huge upgrade over Goins and Barney.

Sign JDM, trade JD and a top 5 prospect to the Cards for their 3B, one of their OFs and a top 10 prospect, and we're in business.

So you’re thinking JD and one of Gurriel/Jansen/Pearson for Gyorko, Grichuk and a top prospect? If that prospect is Reyes, I can maybe get on board with that, though I think I’d try to keep Pearson out of that mix. Probably try to hold onto Jansen, too, unless we expand that trade to get Carson Kelly.
