boy can't satisfy everyone
I know “you” aren’t commenting about anyone being satisfied. It was tongue and cheek……however you are aware of the Spencer Howard trade correct?

yep and i wish it hadn't happened but it did and i moved on from it. wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't get DFA'ed at some point this off-season but personally i would set him at AA and make him earn his way back

Just solidifies my point that they should spend lots in FA and maybe hire another source to do the trading in the future.

Can you outsource MLB trades to the Middle East? Hello, I am calling today to notify you of your MLB players extended warranty and the option to trade them to the Texas Rangers…….

That’s the part that worries me…..they haven’t proven to do well in that aspect since the Teixeira/Hamilton trades

We don't owe it to Gallo to not "miss this."
No the owing going on is the Yanks owing Gallo unless he is nontendered which is not going to happen.
We
Got a good start in a rebuild but we do need outfielders and likely a catcher. Still hoping Huff figures it out and catches fire but need a couple more pieces to contend for playoff spot IMO

I think that is where our prospects will be used between now and the end of July. That and an ace and a closer

There's plenty of fodder still on the 40 man, teams achieve success by building depth throughout the system, and there's nothing that says certain players can't/won't end up at different positions in the long run... Duran and several were mentioned as options to move to the OF long before the spending spree due to our MIF depth

Yes, people will be traded, but we don't have to really jettison anyone quite yet

I think Yan Gomes is FA fit at catcher, and Myles Straw could be a loy key trade option for CF and possibly a starter

Add a couple bullpen pieces and then seeing how the roster flashes itself out going forward

Then just sort out LF, DH, and 2 starting pitching spots via trade, FA or organizational depth

No desire to send any of our prospects to the A's though
