When the dust settles...

Post by Guardians »

After these two massive trades...Detroit has a lot of bats on the squad. I've got some different potential combinations for lineups, but some quality guys could be dealt:

Torii Hunter: ageless wonder. Good sim for the season (.287/.325/.427 14 HR VG arm in RF) and solid start in real life: .333/.355/.529 4 HR 20 RBI in 25 games

Stephen Piscotty: Top 3 Cardinals prospect and top 100 guy. RF with a VG arm in the sim and only 23. Has a usable offensive projection (.266/.318 10 HR 10 SB in 120 G)

Chris Carter: Mighty as an oak tree. Ex/Ex power. Had a nice little streak last week in real life, but slow April. Always a 30-40 HR potential guy. Ex stealing!

Pedro Alvarez: Kinda monitoring the situation with him. As I wrote up on my blog, he could make the leap this year. Ks are down, walks are up and he's got 8 HR. Things looking up.

Matt Davidson: 23-year-old 3B. Slow start in AAA, but another ok projection for such a young guy. Another top 100 bat. .236/.312/.410 21 HR 68 RBI. Av/ defense at 3B.

No real deal set in my mind, but I do have a lot of depth offensively and wouldn't mind looking at an offensive or pitching upgrade, if it's out there.

Update: Melk Man is gone after the big follow-up trade, which decidedly did not allow the dust to settle. I have a lot of hitters still around, so let's chat.

Have had some talks about these guys, but still have them. Sitting on a surplus of bats that are not getting used. If anyone is looking for a deal, let me know.

Couple inquiries, especially into Piscotty and Davidson, but nothing done yet.

Also willing to toss out Jose Altuve after the acquisition of Pedroia. He's a guy I love, but a leadoff DH is weird. It may work, but if I can manage to deal speed and a rare position for an offensive upgrade, I'll dance.
