Senzel

Suarez is only playing 3B because Cozart is at SS. The long term plan for the Reds is Suarez at SS and Senzel at 3B. I don't think either player will be available unless the Reds keep Cozart around (which is unlikely).

A more likely trade would be Camargo (who is equal to or better than Suarez defensively) plus pitching for Suarez. Hard to say which pitchers the Reds would covet, but they will almost certainly want someone in AA or higher who doesn't have question marks about going to the BP.
 
Given their money issues, I'd come closer to offering an Anderson/Touki or Muller package for Suarez and try to extend him than pay any of our other arms for Senzel - certainly expect I'm in the minority there though.
 
If the Reds traded Senzel, their fans would take up torches and pitchforks. They'd make Ferguson look like a pep rally.

I'd love this deal.
 
no. good god people, stop thinking that having pitching is a bad thing.

hitters grow on trees. look at ronald acuna for example. all you need is to fill a few spots and you have a roster. you don't have anything if you don't have excellent pitching and you'll NEVER have excellent pitching if you're giving it away. there are only so many good pitchers out there which is exactly why you should load up on as many good ones as you can.

for all the flack this org has taken about the rebuild, one thing the braves have in place going forward is a lot of potential in the field. ablies, swanson, freeman, acuna, inciarte. 5 or 8 starters are locked in or might be. on the other hand, you have virtually nothing proven in the rotation.

show me a great team that doesn't have great pitching. anybody? pitching is the only thing that has ever mattered and that's still the case. find a couple stud starters and that's all the difference. the braves should never trade any of their pitching prospects unless it's been determined they're not good enough. ever.`

btw, i'm also not sure why we're trying to trade camargo. he's another bat that just came out of nowhere. that happens. game changing pitchers showing up out of nowhere happens much less.
 
It still annoys me that the Reds grabbed Senzel. We'd be in such a better position right now if we had Senzel waiting in the wings instead of hoping that Anderson maybe possibly becomes something in 3-4 years.

But the Reds aren't moving Senzel. You can bet there are teams with message boards with Acuna threads because we have Ender in center. You make room for guys like Senzel and Acuna. You don't trade them.

This idea might work if the Reds see their window of contention as being a bit later than the Braves. Suarez will be going to arbitration for the first time this off-season.

Im not convinced the FO still wouldnt have picked Anderson even if Senzel was on the board.
