    Have to say, as much as I like the upside play for Donaldson, an off-season of Donaldson, McCann and a Markakis reunion would leave me the very definition of underwhelmed.

    And while Happ is better than I thought (seriously, how is J.A. Happ now a guy who strikes out nearly 10 hitters per nine?), the idea of a three-year contract there just seems doomed from the start.

    Happ has pretty much been discounted his whole career until of late. I guess he hasn't regressed quite as much as perceived ? He has been traded a few times, and for not much of note.

    If McCutchen sign for 16 a year Brantley will probably want 18 plus a year!! This is not looking good!!

    WHELP.

    16.67 per is strong money, but I like the term a lot. I'd have gone that pretty quick on Cutch. The 3 being the operative number for me.

    So, looks like we'll be trading for our third outfielder.

    I believe there only three options:
    1. Don’t sign no one and upgrade our Rotation.
    2. Trade for Haniger or a real upgrade.
    3. Sign Markakis for 1 year.

    Great analysis! That’s pretty obvious.

    1. Get worse
    2. Get better
    3. Stay the same
