New Rotation and Lineup

[IowaAngels27]

1. Weaver

2. Wilson

3. Santiago

5. Richards

5. Skaggs

 

We actually have a rotation now. However, we need someone like Garza who is proven. Any ideas on who the hitter we will go after will be? 

[tennischmp]

Santiago hasn't proven to be a #3 starter yet

[SoWhat]

Dipoto said they'll be in the FA market for SP and a bat.

[Hubs]

No to Garza. Not for the length of contract and the dollars he'd command.

[Brent Maguire]

They'll sign another starter for sure. They can spend 10-12 million on a starter and use the rest on a bat to Dh and possibly another bullpen arm.

i could live with that.

 

as for the FA. garza, tanaka on the expensive end. maybe capuano, colon, jimenez on the not so expensive end?

[bloodbrother]

Rotation and lineup = still incomplete

 

gotta see what they add to it. Another arm and a cheap DH bat look likely

[Erstad Grit]

Cmon Ulbado!

[ItzTacosYerrp]

We need one more starter.... JUST IN CASE nomsayin??

[SoWhat]

@Alden_Gonzalez: Sounds like, off the bat, Dipoto views Skaggs as fifth starter, with Santiago potential swing man or in AAA. Of course, it's early.

[Hubs]

Cmon Ulbado!

 

While his upside is greater, I'd be wary of the compensatory selection again for the third year in a row.
