My point is there are too many bats and the need for SP is huge. Any trade using Helsley or a couple of players from above needs to return a SP preferably a young power arm in AAA. The match is clear. The Dodgers have 2 or 3 of them.


Follow up question. This team needs a regular lineup. Who is on the bench and do they belong there? For example a bench of Pozo Nootbar Gorman Burleson is wasting good young trade pieces

Arenado is probably gone.

Gorman Walker Nootbar Burleson all would have market to a small market team because of cost control and upside. Go get a AA or AAA SP prospect in return to fill the void

Snoot turns 28 and Bumbles 27, this year. Both arb eligible.
Is that young?

You think a bunch of league average hitters and one 25% worse, are getting you starting pitching worth a (drat)?

I'm hanging onto Bumbles, for now....that other garbage can go

Then add one to the Helsley trade to get one or package 2 together. Have you seen some of the rostered hitters on the small market teams? They are cheap.

40 B-C grade players. They are missing the A+ players to build around like a 35/100 hitter or a 18 game winner. When they get those players the rest will fall into place. How do they get them? SPEND THE $100m they cut from payroll after this season.
