How does Carlos Santana for first base sound? Some power, plus good on base percentage.
1st question, notin:
If you only could get one of these guys for 2018-2019 (forget the beyond), who would it be?
Hosmer
Santana
JD Martinez (at 1B? or DH?)
Duda
Morrison
Alonso
Moreland
2nd question:
Is trading for Votto or Stanton a realistic option and what would a reasonable package look like?
HRam or Porcello (as salary offset?)
Bogey (we then maybe sign Cozart?)
Groome or Mata
Chavis or Ockimey
Always the trade route, which is something Dombrowski has shown he certainly likes to do.
E-Rod to the Giants for Brandon Belt, who is in the top eight among 1B over the last 3 years in OBP, wOBA, wRC and fWAR. He's 14th in SLG, but SF's home park is not built for lefties.
Then spend your cash on Alex Cobb...
I deleted that post because I couldn't get JD to come out in all caps LOL
My top priorities are always to add an ace.
I'm not sure how realistic that is this off season. We have Price returning, hopes that Porcello can get his act together (again) and Wright as a hopeful depth piece.
This what I want:
1) A GREAT clean-up hitter (if he can play 1B- all the better)
2) A solid bench player like Nunez, since Pedey, HRam and no 4th OF'er are question marks in 2018.
I would not seek a 2/3 starter. I'd add a couple guys like Fister as depth in hopes we can find someone like the 2017 Fister.
I'd leave the pen untouched. Adding full seasons from Smith, Thornburg and Ross should enough.
