The AL Central is pretty weak right now. I can see them standing pat if they are in the division race coming out of July. They are at least putting a respectable team on the field every night which is good. I do agree with you though. Id be looking to move overperforming guys.
Ive liked that we have seen some breakouts and development this season. The pitching in the farm is absolutely dismal right now.
Really excited about Hartshorn though.
Makes sense considering their strategy with Conrad last year. Personally, I always like the idea of going position player first and then loading up with arms the rest of the way with a couple high schoolers.
Murakami has adapted to the MLB a lot better than I anticipated. I thought he would flop this year. Still concerned about that K-rate but he is a fun player to watch, I think the Sox should try and trade him and sell high but he's a fun story.
I think Ramirez could play LF. He's athletic enough.
I'm in the camp of keeping KA at least until the offseason. I see no reason to trade a prospect with his potential when we have two OF's hitting FA heading into 27. Let him spend the entire year in AAA again and have him get spot starts here and there with the big league team when someone inevitably has to miss a little time.
