Greinke and Kluber make the most sense from a pitching standpoint. May be Rick Porcello, but probably less likely. From a hitting standpoint, the only 2 I think fit are probably Wil Myers or Buster Posey. Considering the Pads were in the running for both Machado and Harper, I think Myers is the logical conclusion here, since they would have needed to both clear payroll and move an OF to make Harper fit.

I'm accepting AA as the Warren Buffet of General Managers. That means he will definitely miss out on some great deals (not investing in Amazon and Google because he didn't understand how they would be profitable) due to fear of overpaying, but he'll always find value. That's not sexy, but I'm trying to accept that fact.
My hope is he really is utilizing data like he claims and it'll help him find those value plays.
This is a really awesome piece on Dansby Swanson. It highlights baseball and his personal life. It's REALLY hard to not love this guy: http://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/n...l1h3yt1jwu8d04

Freaking Ender leading off. lol
Curious to see where he ends up. Another Consensus Top 100 prospect whose stuff just didn't translate at the big league level, at least yet. Could be one of those guys who finds something and can contribute consistently in the major leagues. I don't think he's poised to blow up, but he still has time.
So...at the end of last year, who would have bet out first game of 2019 would have Ender leading off and Julio starting...
Go get him!
