Jose Iglesias traded to Angels.

Holy crap Wiz just traded Wall for Westbrook.

Really figured they would cut a deal with Mancini at less than his arbitration number.

I didn’t think that would happen. I assumed they would be solid with him.

Pat Valaika is not an everyday player. Sanchez has had limited reps at SS. 
 

That said if they do play Sanchez at SS at this point I would rather play Bannon at 2nd. Heck I may even play Martin at SS at this point. It’s all about getting thru the season with as little cost as possible. 

Pat Valaika is not an everyday player because no one has played him everyday yet.

Sanchez has limited reps because he hasn't has the reps yet.

Valaika actually has a fine fielding pct at 2B... and will hit 30+ homers

Bannon at 3B

This is the rebuilding Orioles

You trying to make the O's look less dysfunctional?

The Wiz also gave up a first round pick.

/shrug, don't ask me.

I'm the one that thinks they are cutting the amateur acquisition budget to save a few hundred thousand.

You are an immovable object.

I was thinking something in the 3-4 million range to offset the increased risk.

I don't know man, I think I look less wrong everyday.

Sanchez has played fewer than 100 MLB innings at short.

He has played the majority of innings at shortstop exactly one year in his professional career, in 2012.

I don't think he will be the starting shortstop.

So when do we get to the building part of rebuilding?

This still looks like the tearing down part.

I genuinely hope at this point he gets a good look. Will need more stopgaps in 2022. Hope by 23 some in house players can take over. 

I am hoping they promote many players this upcoming year.   I want to see what we really have for whoever is ready, hoping they think it’s time to use some of the “talent” they have been amassing.

I mean I don't follow basketball but trading a bad contract and a first round pick for a bad contract doesn't seem like a good move.

Is he your best option at the moment?
