    Wilson is a fine bullpen arm but I wouldn't go out of the way to acquire him, and no I wouldn't trade Soler for him. He also has reverse splits for his career, tougher on righties.

    Apparently Derek Norris is a National and the Dbacks, with no other catchers, non-tendered Welington Castillo.

    [tweet] [/tweet] Nationals apparently pushing for a trade today, then could move Turner to short and non-tender Espinosa before tomorrow's deadline.

    We'll see. I'm sure if an opportunity came up to make a big move to improve short and long term of team they will make it. Yeah, standard case of "We'll see what happens." The Winter Meetings haven't even started yet. If there's a move for a starting pitcher they can make, I'm sure they'd do it. But obviously there aren't many holes to fill that can't be done from within.

    Apparently there are rumblings the Pirates have liked offers they've received for McCutchen and a trade seems likelier now. My Pirates-fan friends are pissed.

    Cubs are apparently interested in Daniel Hudson as a middle reliever, according to the Tribune. I like the idea, when I think of 2011 Daniel Hudson, not 2016 Daniel Hudson who went through a stretch of giving up 33 hits in just 9 innings. This year's Trevor Cahill?

    Well when you compare it to the affordable sum of 3 years, 15 million for Ryan Sweeney...

    8 mil seems a bit excessive but I guess it will also annoy Cardinals fans?

    Remember when Locke was somehow an All Star?
  11. Post Count Padder
    Well then. I suppose this sets them up to have him pair with Almora. Or it could be a precursor to a trade and a Fowler signing.

    If we're intent on not spending big on a closer, I like the idea of Doolittle or Holland. High reward signings. I'd still be happy with Rondon closing and Strop/Edwards/Grimm as the top setup men.

    yes plz Lmao, I read the first part of that trade and was like "oh boy, what does that get us?" and then read the second part and nearly spit out my coffee. I do that trade all day every day. It really is too bad Bowden isn't still a GM.

    I've long been a Gardner fan. If Fowler doesn't pan out, I'd be in favor of a deal. Again, not sure how great his CF is anymore but I believe the metrics still rate him positively in the corners and he was third in the league in outfield assists this year (in reference to the question about his arm). Would allow a lot of mixing and matching in outfield defense with him, Almora and Heyward.
  16. Post Count Padder
    Another potential outfield option
  17. Post Count Padder
    For some reason I was irrationally annoyed we traded Blevins for the ghost of Jason Kendall. I'd be a fan on a one year deal. Was good this past year and has a 3.21 FIP over the past four years.

    Three outfielders on the bench? Also thinking that's kinda underwhelming for Soler. How bout a throwback trade idea and see if the Orioles have finally soured on Bundy?
  19. Post Count Padder
    That bums me out a little. Really liked the idea of him in our pen. A

    One of the biggest busts of the last 10-20 years?
  21. Post Count Padder
    All the obvious choices. I can definitely see any of: John Andreoli Stephen Bruno Armando Rivero Bijan Rademacher Tyler Skulina being taken. Anyone else isn't likely worth a roster spot (too far away or not good enough). I am surprised they didn't roster Rivero.
  22. Post Count Padder
    Lefty, good minor league numbers, terrible major league numbers. Your standard depth "try to stash him in AAA" guy.

    I ordered three things from Fansedge. Two shipped last night (a shirt and the knit cap the players wore in the parade). Another hat I ordered hasn't shipped yet. I also gave family a list of a few more things for Christmas. We'll see how they can mess that up.

    Also, today is the last day to add players to the 40 man roster to protect them from the Rule 5 draft. Cubs currently at 34 on the roster.
  25. Post Count Padder
    I keep coming back to the Blue Jays as a fit. Need help in the outfield, would give them another power bat. Is Soler and someone like Stinnett, Caratini or Dewees not enough for, say, Stroman?
