SongInTheAir Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Now that Morse is on the team, we look like this: C: Saltalacaca 1B: Morse 2B: Gordon SS: Trashavarria 3B: McRegression LF: Yelich CF: Brozuna RF: Monstarr 1: Harry and the Hendersons Alvarez 2: Mat "Lost a T" Latos 3: Jarred Cos <3 4: Nathan Eovaldi 5: Tom Koehler/Dan Haren LHP: Hand, McKinrahan Late Innings: Ramos, Capps, Dunn, Morris Middle Innings: Hand, Crow, Dyson Closer: Steven C. Sheck So...what's next? Do we trade/give away Garrett Jones? Do we still move Eovaldi if Haren decides to stay? Maybe a Eovaldi/Haren/Jones package to a West Coast team will help us restock a little bit of the farm? Although we likely wouldn't get much. Thoughts?

Erick Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I don't see anything wrong with the bullpen. The only thing that's scary is our infield. If they exceed expectations, I expect playoffs. We do well in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they exceed expectations, I expect playoffs. We do well in the playoffs. Yeah, we only really upgraded at 1B as far as the infield. A regression-heavy Dee Gordon, a bottom 3 in baseball Adeiny Hechavarria, and a Real Casey McGehee in the rest of the dirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We definitely upgraded 2b even though we got hosed on the trade. Dee is going to hit 75 triples in 2015 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee is going to hit 75 triples in 2015 Infield triples? Because if the ball reaches the outfield Dee will make it all the way around to score every time. He will end up with more homeruns than Stanton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of anyone's opinion on Dee Gordon, we definitely upgraded there too to be fair. Let's not forget who used to play there for us.

Let's not forget who used to play there for us. Yeah, we definitely upgraded at the very very least in terms of baserunning. These Steamer projections for 2015 scare me though: Dee Gordon: .261/.313/.341, 83 WRC+ Donovan Solano: .253/.303/.338, 79 WRC+ Derek Dietrich: .243/.302/.402, 96 WRC+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious what ZiPs thinks. (I still hate the trade, but am living with it)... Maybe brett butler can work his magic and turn dee into brett butler jr. Most importantly, we never have to see solano or adeiny at the top of the order again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SongInTheAir Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 So here's my thing: Dee Gordon is infinitely more talented than our other 2B options. It's just a matter of whether or not he'll be able to put it together for a whole season as pitchers start to realize that, despite his lack of power, he's a relatively free swinger. Also, Michael Morse and Justin Morneau are essentially equal in that we would have made our pitching worse by acquiring Morneau. The difference between Morse and Morneau is not worth a Cosart or an Alvarez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
