Just Drafted

Just Drafted (1/14)

  1. We've done a good job improving the pitching depth in the system but I hope we step it up with position players in the draft and international scene. I'd like to see how Delgado progresses this year...he seems promising at least
  2. Other teams like the Red Sox could easily make a better offer for Hamels
  3. The Padres. I like that they've been actively seeking improvements in their offense to keep up with the Dodgers
  4. With a couple of months left until pitchers and catchers report, I thought it would be fun to see what kind of trade ideas everyone has to further improve our team. Trade Idea : CJ Cron+prospect for Hunter Renfroe from SD The Padres are looking to improve their offense and that's exactly what Cron offers. They have good outfield depth (Kemp, Venable, Maybin, Smith, Myers will be cost controlled for 4-5 more years, Liriano was promoted last year) with a need for corner IF offense. For us, acquiring Renfroe gives us a young OF with a strong arm and good power. With Hamilton getting older and not returning to form, it would be nice for us to have quality depth waiting in the wings to be in the OF with Trout and Calhoun. Another player that would be a nice acquisition is Jake Lamb from the Diamondbacks. A young 3b who can hit for average and get on base, although I'm not sure if there would be a match with the Dbacks.
  5. I voted about the same but I think the team we have now has the potential to be better. Towards the end of the season last year, Howie was big for us in that he was hitting well at the cleanup spot. We also had players who stepped up like Rasmus, Shoemaker, Santiago, Morin but we don't know if they will be able to continue to perform with the same success. Currently we have improved pitching depth (especially SP), we've gotten younger and more athletic all around. The potential to be better depends on who will step up with Howie gone now? Joyce is a good addition but more importantly a healthy Hamilton and Calhoun will benefit us greatly.
  6. If Walker is just going to the Rays, then might as well cut the Padres out of the deal and swap Myers for Walker.
  7. What's the point of having Butera when he can't hit? We already have a promising defensive catching in Perez who will probably give better production offensively
  8. I like the trade but I gotta admit I was excited to see what type of numbers Cron could produce being the full-time DH.
  9. Would be nice if not for the extra years on Fielder's contract.
  10. I wouldn't mind Myers on our team. If he reaches potential he can hit behind Trout when our "power" hitters are getting too old.
  11. Not sure if he'd want to return to Texas. Maybe he'll waive his no-trade clause for the Padres. Hedges, Rentfoe nd Gettys are some interesting young prospects.
  12. I wouldn't mind having Harper on our team but I think in the future he'll be overpaid for his talent/potential rather than actual production. Another player from the Nats that I'd be interested in is Michael Taylor, good defensive outfielder with speed and raw power.
