    As off-the-radar as Winkler was last year, I couldn't begin to guess what the braintrust is thinking. Best guess is no one in the MLB portion.

    I looked at the BA link cited in the article. Some names I would look at

    Ronny Rodriguez - Don't see much profiling here, but he's kind of young, Could be a utility IF of quality for us. I know we signed Bonerfacio, but we could always use the depth IMO
    Jose Adames - For the minors. He hasn't made it to AA, control is a huge concern, But if his K rate can rise or his BB rate can fall could be a solid reliever in the bigs at some point. Wouldn't mind bringing him in to our AA and working on him.
    Alberto Tirado - Reading the reports on him, his stuff is electric. Can't control it at all though. If he could, could be an immensely valuable relieving prospect.

    After that, I'm not seeing anyone who pops out on the scouting reports to me. Either they're too old or they're 1B/OF types.
    Stockholm, more densely populated than NYC - sturg
