    Not big on Dallas. But again could be talked into it. I just rather not lose the 2nd rounder and the 1.2 million associated with it. This draft has huge potential. That said I would be on board with Marwin and Kimbrel if both could be had for 3 years or 3 with option.

    Marwin adds so much protection for us. We could sub guys out regularly and be very well protected from injury or neck decline.

    Funny thing though - it didn't destroy the organization, and here they are a few years later with Hosmer, Machado, and loads of young talent on the way.
    Everyone thought signing Hosmer was dumb as **** and it was.

    I'm more on board with a trade than a signing. I'd rather keep that pick and lighten the starting pitching pool.

    As of right now (barring injuries) we're going to need to have 2 young guys in the pen, 5 in the AA rotation and 1 in the MLB rotation of our 8 inclouding Weigel. Anderson/Wentz/Muller would have to stay in AA. Obviosuly things chance and injuries occur that makes that depth dwindle, but I don't think we're getting the best ROI of our assets by holding on to all of them.

    Good post, no question. That's why so many of us thought that big trade would've happened by now. But we keep waiting...

    Not sure if this is true or not but I'd back up the Brinks truck for this.

    There was a report (likely leaked by Boras) that Philly was going to have a hard time getting Bryce and that San Fran at a shorter, higher AAV deal was looking legitimate.

    If Harper goes to SF after machado went to SD, our offseason doesn't look quite so bad

    There is no way that Harper takes a shorter deal with 300+ garaunteed.

    I really love Soroka. His shoulder scares the crap out of me, but if he stays healthy he has incredible upside. His stuff is solid enough, but I don't think I've ever seen a pitching prospect with a mental makeup as good as his.

    LOL, another indication of clearly misunderstanding the different scenarios. Not surprising...
