Asking about Josh Rutledge, Pete Kozma and others.

[nikkachez]

Don't like Rutledge, numbers are mirage of Coors Field. Kozma just isn't good. Brock Holt is my guy, plays seven positions, and plays them well, including all three OF spots and every infield spot aside from catcher. Bandy/Perez, Holt, Cowgill, Robertson/Navarro/Green/Krauss/O'Malley would be my bench. Let the guys duke it out in spring training and stash the others in Salt Lake.

Don't they have to be toolsy?

[tdawg87]

Of those, I like Gonzalez the best.

 

Obviously Holt would be a prime target but he'd probably cost way too much.

@MikeDiGiovanna: Another potential trade target for #Angels in search for UTIL INF: Nick Ahmed of #DBacks. He's 24, controllable, plays a real nice SS.

Another Diamondback! He'll be an Angel by tomorrow.

Yoan Moncada is the only infield depth they should be focusing on

His defensive performance was the best in the Minors in terms of Defensive Assists last year: http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/getting-defensive-shortstop-prospects-worth-loving-gloves/

Truly a defensive wizard not unlike Eric Stamets but probably ready to play now in 2015, whereas Stamets needs at least one more year in all likelihood.

I'd take Suarez. Young and cost controlled. 

[Cdaniel]

What about the guys in the rule 5 draft that Scott spoke about?

[nando714]

I love our rockies and dback minor league systems

[Troll Daddy]

Thought the team was signing Beckham soon?

I like this cat over the rest that have been mentioned. 

 

Rutledge would be my #2 guy. 

[laagamer]

New article says we are looking into Brock Holt.

 

Might be a little to expensive IMO.

You guys want Willie Bloomquist?

 

So much grit and clutch.
