He has the arm and as big as he is the speed and agility. I mean the guy covers ground like nobodies business. I believe he can be a 45-50 HR player on a consistent basis if he stayed healthy but my biggest concern is Boras and what it would cost us to keep him here.

Which is why he would be perfect for the Yankees

Baseball America has the Rangers system at #24.

This an educated guess?

Yes, with the emphasis strongly on the word "guess."

I still hope Guzman gets one more half season to prove himself with Lowe sliding over to 3B to begin the season.

I guess i should have mentioned Calhoun and Solak would be in the mix, Wendzel and Apostel too

I kind of would like Apostel to get a shot at 3B this year

That would be a great trade for us. The Mets would be fools to do it. That guy who wrote that article has said some crazy things before, though. That is more or less his personal blog.

true but they are now saying the Mets could be getting Kris Bryant from Cubs which makes Davis expendable and he would fill a need with us and he plays 3B, 1B and LF

They have a lot of teams to shop him to. If they trade him, they are going to be offered a lot more than two relievers and a lower prospect. That is the kind of return you get for a rent-a-player at the deadline. With so much control left they are going to get a much better return.

Leclerc alone would warrant a good return

The 2018 LeClerc would get you a good return. The trouble is, he was only that for that one year.

The good thing about JD Davis is that he is under control for 4 more years. That increases his price tag to substantially more than that article suggested.

Perhaps we just have to wait and see

I believe that makes Newberg 3 for 3. He had suggested Dahl, Alihara, and either Hilt or Lamb I believe.
