  1. I think you have to start with him at 2B and he can take any lumps necessary on the go like Gunnar did (early) last year. By the end of the year, I'd move to see a top of the order of Holliday - Adley - Gunnar, or in some order anyway.
  2. Side note, remember when we took Matt Hobgood the pick before Wheeler in the 2009 draft?
  3. Great to see Holliday and Cowser getting hits off of elite SP's.
  4. Could Westburg ultimately get most of his future starts at LF? Camden Yards is a bit different than other ballparks, doesn't make it easy.
  5. I like having Mountcastle's RH bat against lefties. When he's on, he's our best bet to carry the offense against a lefty. 849 career OPS against LH and 1052(!) last year. That's 1052 even with all the injury/vertigo stuff.
  6. I'd like to keep Urias around if possible because he's perfect for the utility infielder role. We'd be wasting the younger guy's time keeping them on the bench not getting AB's. Ideally Westburg/Gunnar/Holliday all start, with Urias as utility infielder and Mateo as super utility (starting at SS occasionally against LH) and pinch runner. One of O'Hearn/Cowser/Kjerstad will need to go at some point soon. Cowser and Kjerstad would mostly be wasting time in AAA. Unfortunately O'Hearn has little to no trade value, because he'd be the one to part with.
  7. Ohearn will probably be given all the chance to prove last year wasn't a fluke, and Kjerstad would take over his spot at DH otherwise. Cowser is the biggest mystery. Perhaps he starts out rotating as the 4th OF and DH? Something's gotta give.
  8. I mean even if Irvin is just what he was with the A's and gets you 180 innings of about 4 ERA ball that's still an upgrade and replacement for Gibson. If either Means or Bradish makes their way back Irvin is a decent 5th starter at least.
  9. As much as I thought signing a FA would work, we may just have to hold firm with what we got unless we get another injury. In the season we can make a trade if it came to it. The only guy that may make sense is Lorenzen since he has bullpen experience. In the case that literally everyone is healthy.
  10. Lorenzen was an effective bullpen guy before he recently switched to starting. If we get lucky and Means/Bradish are healthy, he can go there and still provide value. Not sure that's going to be the case with anyone else we'd sign.
  11. It certainly isn't exciting, but if we aren't making a trade and aren't paying for Snell/Montgomery who is still out there?
  12. I don't think Lorenzen is a particularly great pitcher, but he's a guy that has experience in several different roles. Given our budget, he may be the best option left (if Ryu is headed back to Korea).
  13. Lefty bullpen project? His minor league numbers look good. Was one a 1st rounder, so the talent I would think is there.
