    Swanson but if he's not in as well as Pollock, this is dumb, just keep him.

    What about Peralta? He had nice year last year and has a lot of control left.

    Have not criticized this FO once, but if Blair is the main return, I just can't anymore. I love this team but idk

    B-ref WAR loves Inciarte, if that is indeed who we're getting. Hard not be skeptical of his bat, though- a 101 OPS+ last year, and that was driven entirely by batting average.

    Inciarte is an interesting piece. Phenomenal defender who was worth more than 5 WAR last year. If we can get a good prospect on top of that, I'll take it.

    We had the best defender in baseball with 5 years of control left not too recently.

    Inciarte is a good defender but I don't see where his bat fits. He lacks the OBP skills of a top of the order guy. He has good speed but isn't a great base stealer. He's not got much pop at all. Not a bad hitter just not a particularly useful one.

    Fangraphs likes Inciarte a little less- 3.3 WAR, which is respectable.

    I'm just skeptical of counting on an outfielder whose entire offensive skill set is hitting singles.

    Man, I can't remember the last time a team traded away so much talent and got so little back.

    Pollock would have been nice but didnt see where he fits given he and Shelby have 3 years of control left.

    Nick Piecoro is saying Blair and Swanson are also involved, which would be pretty nifty. No word on if we would be including anything else.
