Does anyone think that Adam Duvall could be had on a show me deal? He would provide good defence and take KK's ab's against lefties. He could also be used to reduce Springer's workload to try to keep him healthy.

This team was constructed in a manner that gave them no chance to win the world series. This is obviously just my opinion. You can only outhit your mistakes for so long.. You can't win with a ss that can't throw you out from the hole when combined with a defensively average cf flanked by 2 guys that couldn't catch a cold. People complain that the pitchers can't get anyone out. There is some truth there but how many times have you seen balls fall in that extend innings.How many times have you seen unmade plays at ss . I am not even talking about the errant throws ,just unmade plays. I don't think any pitching staff could overcome the defensive deficiencies of this team. I must also comment on the lack of effort on this team.I keep hearing about how hard they work.before the game . How about some effort during the game. Watch Cleveland play . As soon as contact is made their eyes are focused on 1st base and they run full speed to put pressure on the defense. Watch the Jays when they make contact. They jog out of the box and watch the fielder to see if they should actually to 1st. I can't count the number of games lost through lack of effort or other baserunning blunders. The only guys who get a pass here are Chapman,Merrifield, Bradley and Jansen.I think that it is no coincidence that 3 of these guys come from other organizations. It doesn't cost anything to run hard to 1st base but it costs plenty not to run.

I am pretty sure that a catcher must stay in the catcher's box until the pitch is delivered.

who is the best cf to be had for Kirk and Gurriel
