I prefer marwin myself, but I'd be happy with him, Kimbrel, or Dallas.

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.

We were.

Fans are fans, and always want their teams to sign the flashy guys whether their teams are good or not. Padres fans were thrilled when Hosmer was signed just as they were when Preller went nuts and brought in all those players the winter he was hired. It was exciting. Didn't work out.

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
 
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.
