Just trade the D'Backs a bunch of relievers and they'd likely trade Ian Kennedy lol. Kidding aside, I'm sure Kevin Towers would look to add an improved starter over Kennedy, however at the same time the D'backs want to clear payroll so adding Buerhrle is likely out of the question.
For sure the D'Backs would take a serious look at Janssen and other relievers like Delabar and Oliver. Towers loves bullpen arms more than AA.

I'd still take Asdrubal over Andrus anyday of the week. If I want 30-40 SB with a sub .700 OPS, I'll go after a Rajai Davis or Jarrod Dyson in like the last rounds or pluck them off the waiver wire.
Tulo? He's in a class of his own when it comes to shortstops. He hasn't run at all this season, though his other numbers are lightyears better than the other shortstops. A .335/.396/.613 slash line along with 19 HR and 59 RBI despite missing time this season is pretty darn good. He missed a good chunk of last season, though he's a solid bet for 130-140 games to go 30/100 with a .900 + OPS and from a shortstop thats terrific production. He's not a consensus top 5 pick anymore since he doesn't run that much, though he's definitely a great pick between 10-20 or even as a later pick in the top 10. I think I took him 14th in this league and I don't regret it. I was debating between him and Justin Upton at the time in that slot.
There's really no upside with him in fantasy baseball. It's not like he's going to steal 60-70 bases like Ellsbury or Reyes have in the past. Doubt he ever reachers double digits in home runs as well like you said. I just find it shocking that he's always a top 100 pick every year in fantasy baseball - I just don't understand why.
My problem with Andrus is that every year in drafts, he's drafted like a top 50-80 player in fantasy baseball, which he clearly isn't. He can put up nice numbers like SB, runs, BA, though I would never take him anywhere in the top 100.
I likely would have had Tampa coming in first, with the Jays likely in second and the Red Sox and O's flipped between 3rd or 4th. I would have thought with the Yankees roster at the beginning of the season that they'd find it tough to push .500 though Wells, Overbay, Hafner really held their ground for those 2 months haha.
