Since I'm spending my Sunday restoring my Ubuntu server and waiting for the tubeless sealant to settle I thought I'd spend some of my down time planning for #TheRoadto500 (paging
@Travis7401). Since I only have time to play 54,114th level chess in my professional life I'm going to put the cards on the table show you all what I've got and you decide if you want any of these guys or not. It's probably a buyers market again and I'm not greedy so make an offer.
Enrique Gomez 2B (WBL) - He's due $10M next season (Team Option) but he's willing to do an extension for around $13M AAV over nine seasons with me (the ninth is a TO) so don't think of him as a rental. I'm debating keeping him and alternating he and Blanks at 2B/DH but if any of you are looking for a 2B entering his prime that actually has some D hit me up.
Caesar "Trucker" Israel 3B (AAA) - I had no idea Darren Adams would do as well as he has so with him looking to anchor the Hot Corner for us moving forward poor ol' Trucker is blocked, which is really unfortunate. He's got D (great arm), speed (blazing babby), and contact so any of you out there starving for 3B talent (
@bruin @bruin228) that's CHEAP, YOUNG, and under team control should hit me up.
Martin Mull LF (AA) - Not a complete TROG but he's no Alex Gordon either. However, this guy has SPEED, Avoids Ks like a politician avoids the truth, is under team control, and, according to my scout that saw the greatness in Niek "Hittin' them skinz" Ploeg that everyone doubted, sees this guy as a faster version of Ploeg. Since Ploeg is going to be manning LF for a while he's blocked and by the time Ploeg is forced to DH
Ha Alisjahbana should be close to reaching his 80 POWER potential so he's got nowhere to play.
There are probably others I'm willing to move but those three are guys that I thought I'd put on the market now since they're all either in the WBL or ready to make magic happen.
