That would be nice. I thought that may have been possible with the early stock market reaction on election night, but then everything stabilized again, as expected.
I went to WWE RAW this past Monday and I'd tend to agree with you. Funny thing is though, a kid sitting behind me was the loudest, most obnoxious one of all
I would rather keep Stroman. I anticipate his counting stats to catch up to his peripherals starting next season, and I see the K/9 jumping significantly as well. He's still learning and I'm sure Walker, Atkins, etc will be mauling over his stats and looking to hone in on his most effective pitch usage (July and August) to try and repeat it in 2017. He could be a 4-5 WAR pitcher next season.
I would much rather wait on Alford or throw money at a stop-gap to fill a corner OF spot until he's ready.
I don't think now is the time to trade Stroman. The counting stats for him this season likely lowered his trade value despite the great xFIP.
I think he was onto something with that heavy slider usage in July/August so I'd wait a year and reassess his value.
That would be nice. I wonder if we could get both for $13M AAV or under. If we could I would do it. Both should come with a short term to allow us to take our time with Rowdy.
Once he's ready I'd move Pearce to a corner OF platoon, and trade 1 of Morales/Thames.
My final list is probably:
1) Vlad Guerrero Jr
2) Anthony Alford
3) Sean Reid-Foley
4) Lourdes Gurriel Jr
5) Richard Urena

What's yours? I know some really like Greene, but, for me, he's not top 5.
I can understand if you have Gurriel Jr in there. On second thought, he's probably in my top 5, ahead of Urena, and boxing out Tellez.
