    I think Wood will be used to get another bat. I don't think the front office wants to spend on pitching.

    What will we spend on then? We're gonna have a tremendous amount of cash that will have to go somewhere.

    I think we add a big bat and one starter.

    I think we acquire a bat that's making a bunch of money.

    I'm interested in what we spend money on myself. I think weiters resigns with the Orioles and there's no 3b or catchers really available. I guess that leaves OF. Could we make a run a run at jhey and move markakis to lf?

    Miller, Wood, Teheran, Wisler, Banuelos.

    Of course with our luck half those guys will be out of the league next year.

    I'd bring Heyward back but not for what he will command in FA

    Can we platoon him with someone that hits in April and May? A platoon with Justin Upton would be fantastic.

    Heyward isn't a big bat imo. I say they add 2 bats and one pitcher.

    Price/Greinke
    Miller
    Teheran
    Wisler
    Banuelos

    Grienke is the one pitcher I'd spend a bunch on.

    Not when we have Nick the Stick's bargain contract in LF...whats spending 50 M in RF and having a great late game defensive sub in Heyward? Sounds ideal to me. The Dodgers will probably get to them first though.

    I'd rather have Wood to. I just think he's the one we trade with the most value.

    If you have those three guys why do you need a FA? Does this assume two of them is trade bait?

    I don't think I would feel comfortable (if trying to contend) in having 2 of the last 3 in the rotation at the same time.

    We will just have to disagree there.
