    I’m not super stoked on Holland. This could be problematic down the road.

    The bullpen has to be rock solid with so many questions in the rotation.

    He didn’t even average 6 innings a start. I know the trend is going towards 6 man rotation and multiple inning relievers and he did pitch a lot the last 2 seasons but his numbers are running downward.

    Almost like We should revisit Lynn.

    Just my 2 cents but I don’t think Hosmer or Boras want to end up in San Diego. I know he can hit to all fields but he’s not going to like being a lefty in San Diego. IT will dig into his power for sure with that graveyard in RF

    7 years is the bar and I don’t think the Cards would go that high. I think clearly they want more money and will wait it out if they have to.

    I think Alex Reyes would be an excellent closer but you don’t have your #1 prospect closing for long.

    They need a closer but aren’t going to pay Davis or Holland money for one. Reed would be my guy at 4 years $40 million but I bet bowtie is a little gunshy after the Cecil debacle.

    The Cubs trade matched up well with the Orioles. So it appears they want a another top prospect with it that the Cubs don’t want to budge on. Russell or Beckham to 3rd, Montgomery to the rotation and Almora to a starting job in the OF. That’s not a bad starting point.

    They want Reyes. It’s not happening! I would do Gyorko, Flaherty and Grichuk but that’s not what they want.

    I agree we will need to pay for the Archer-Colome combo and likely the Rays want Flaherty and Weaver and maybe Kelly at least with someone else. They want ML ready talent and can’t miss prospects.

    They’d play Garcia at 3rd and Carpenter at 1st against righties. No way Carpenter can play against lefties now with the season he had last year but Munoz would get a call up one would think and play some if Gyorko would get injured.

    That is unless someone like Molina or Kally might play the field. Kelly has been at 3rd before and Molina has played some 1st and I’ve hinted this might be something they want to force on him in his later years.

    Yeah but if you see how much Time Zimmerman has missed the last 4 years you’d see where some playing time could happen for him. He’s lucky to have this deal fall in his lap.

    I hope he’s worked on keeping the Lbs off and working in the OF a bit more. He did have to learn a bit on the fly last year. Not a bad score for about 250-300 PA

    Giants might throw Duggar to the wolves but would they be interested in Grichuk? IT seems odd that the Rays would be interested in him in any deal involving Colome or Archer or both with Keirmaeir, Souza and Mallex Smith, Span ext….

    I think the Cardinals want to make deals with both Tampa and Toronto if it means not gutting the system and some cash comes with it. It’s the way they do business now.

    I’m also of the opinion that they won’t pay $15 million for a closer. Which is why this Tampa thing is still alive. I think there’s some cold feet on throwing money at that problem based on recent FA pitching failures. I think Addison Reed is the guy but my guess is the length would be an issue for us to commit.

    I’m starting to warm to Hosmer a bit more but I can’t see them committed to that long of a contract. Boras is driving this likely into 7 year deal upward $25 million per which is why he’s not signed on anywhere. Which makes me laugh a bit because I really just have a feeling they’d tinker with Logan Morrison.

    I think someone is going to get flipped. May not be long for our prospect list.

    I’d wait as well and set some back alley deals in place with Tampa and Toronto.

    Will the new FCC ruling have any effect on streaming mlb or other sports options?

    And Brian you will begin to see some of these cord cutting options begin slowly to creep up in price along with internet. They’ll figure out a way.

    Had nowhere to play. Glad he got into the Area.

    Are the A’s taking on all the salary?

    My guess is were not done dealing just yet. Something else big could be coming.

    I never thought much of Sierra other than speed. His arm was wild and I thought his defense was suspect. There’s a million of those guys out there. Bader would be a better 4th OF’er.

    It’s time for Donaldson.

    They can’t make excuses this time. Matheny’s job is on the line.

    Or their keeping him and this is a depth move.

    Hey really needed a starter regardless. Let’s hope our scouts in Asia know what up.

    He wasn’t a reliever in Japan. That’s our new starting pitcher.

    You think with Wacha involved in a trade that a starter is coming back to us from Miami, another trade is coming for another starter from somewhere or we really are going to roll out with a Rotation of Martinez, Waever, Wainwright, Flaherty-Gant and “insert innings eater here”.

    They do still have to fix the pen too and if Stanton is coming they no doubt have to deal Piscotty and free up some cash to make another move.

    You know this reeks of this team wanting to get him out of NL so they would be haunted if he bounces back. Which is won’t if he can’t change his plate approach. Lord knows you can’t trade another player to San Diego and get to choose from that rich farm system.

    The 40 man spot was a given if the intent was dealing him. I’m not saying that this bozo we traded for can’t turn it around but it appears to be a move to clear a roster spot but more like we didn’t want him in the same league and we can pinch some pennies in the process.

    Where does this kid rank in the top 40 if he were to be eligible?
