Kansas City 2017-2018 Offseason Block
Posted: Tue Oct 10, 2017 5:51 pm
See below for the list of players I'm currently shopping. I've had some people ask, so I'll put it out there. I'm willing to talk MadBum, but be prepared to pay for him.
Batters:
Steve Pearce - Still an above average bat: 110 wRC+, 111 OPS+ and capable of playing corner OF.
Adam Lind - He'll be a great platoon player. No zips yet, but he batted .303/.362/.513 with 14 HR in just 301 PA. He actually batted .310 against righties last year. Not expecting his splits to change just b/c of that, but he'll be valuable as a platoon or bench bat for a contender. Especially if you're thin at LHB.
Melky Cabrera - Average hitter, but can hit from both sides if you're looking to balance a lineup. Also can provide some insurance in the OF if you're thin in the field there.
Pitchers:
Chris Rusin - 1.5zWAR, 126 ERA+ and should have the stamina to go multiple innings regularly.
Zach Duke - 122 ERA+, 8.78 K/9. Solid reliever from the left side.
Boone Logan - should be similar to Duke. He signed with the Brewers after their zips came out, but all of his peripheral stats we improved. The inflated ERA was from bad luck as his K/9, BB/9, HR/9, FIP, xFIP were all improved from 2016 (when he pitched in Coors). His BABIP, Strand Rate, and HR/FB all increased, which explain the rise in ERA.
Adam Ottavino - 104 ERA+, solid but unspectacular RHP.
In a perfect deal, I'd be looking to package one or multiple guys on this list with a pick/prospect/piece for a better pick/prospect piece.
