2017 MLB Offseason

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
So do we make a move or go on into spring? I would be fine if we let it go and just went into spring training and asses our situation later. Heck I am excited more than I ever been as an adult fan and that is saying something.

I see two moves out there that could happen:

Another lefty to add into the competition this spring.

Right-handed outfield bat with defensive metrics in center.

I would add a proven utility infielder to that list whether it's on a guaranteed contract or a spring training invitation. Are you a Kelly Johnson fanatic?

Nah, I'm good. Though you may be right, another utility infielder can be brought in to compete w/ Gonzalez as well.

Think that's a longshot though with EG out of options.

We will bring in a bunch of guys like to compete since we always do. I think we gotta get a veteran like Logan for our bullpen, but otherwise unless we get lucky and we can get a Pagan on a minor league deal, we will get guys on minor league deals who like Delabar who have had some good years, but are trying to revive or just prolonged their careers on minor league deals with us.

We also have spots on our AAA team when it comes to OF especially since Zimmer is the only guy there. Diaz I think will be moved out there depending on Urshela and Brantley's health. Ronny Rodriguez will bounce between 2B and the OF at AAA. We need to bring in a few AAAA players to fill in and we don't have anyone else on the 40 man roster, so if injuries happen we need more depth.

We have Michael Martinez signed for another season, so he will be at AAA, brought in again with injuries. Stamets at AA will play more 2B and 3B to increase his versatility but unless he figures how to hit we will never see his gold glove up here. So I am thinking we will bring in utility guys to compete/improve depth. It is Erik Gonzalez's spot to lose on the roster and I am thinking with out of options tagged on his name, at least unti closer to the trade deadline even if he is having a bad year he is on this roster.
