What is it about Sizemore that makes you think he'd be a better fit than the other CO busts this season?

I'd look into Leake, Fowler, Austin Jackson, and Buehrle in addition to your list.

I don't think we'll be bidders on Heyward or Upton.

And, yes, we have both Joseph and Clevenger under team control.

Heyward is the right move. Of course we'll end up w/ Parra. Which would be incredibly lame.

[ArtVanDelay]

Jaso would be a good DH to have vs. RHP.

[Nevermore]

I still want Darren O'Day.

Also Steve Pearce. I think that he would be available for a reasonable amount/length of contract.

Would you be interested in a 12/275 ish deal for him?

Kwang-Hyun Kim

With an overhand delivery Kim pitches a fastball usually sits around 90 mph (tops out at 96 mph), and his changeup, slider and curveball are all major league average pitches. Like other young pitchers, Kim still has problem in his control and command.

I expect it.

[weams]

I want no players that cost a pick myself.

[El Gordo]

For COF I'll be surprised if they don't go after one of these guys, maybe two.

Rajai Davis (35)

Dexter Fowler (30)

Austin Jackson (29)

Colby Rasmus (29)

Denard Span (32)

Drew Stubbs (31)

Parra (29)

[scOtt]

I'd rather have Peace than Parra. Hits better, capable enough in left and plays 1st and 2nd too.

[Can_of_corn]

We all want peace but war, war never changes.

I rise only to say that I do not intend to say anything. I thank you for your hearty welcomes and good cheers.

[Bahama O's Fan]

That De Aza guy looks intriguing. He had a bad first half, but rebounded well and I think he would be affordable.

[UpstateNYfan]

I'd go after Mark Buehrle.

[El Gordo]

Fowler, Span, Pearce, and Morneau.
