Final Day of Meetings
In what looks to be an extremely active meetings we are very pleased how it ended. We accomplished all of our goals coming in. We moved back in draft to acquire more picks. We used some of those picks to add value guys. Now we head into draft only missing a 1st/6th/8th but have two 4ths. After looking over draft with a fine tooth comb we couldn't find a huge difference between end of round one to end of round two. That is why we moved back. was hoping to have those two 2nds but we had a huge hole between rounds 6-8 and there is a lot of quality there. To give you an example last year I took Edwin in round 7. So some trades were necessary to do. Now lets look at the final results. We ended up keeping all our current players. Only player looking to really move was Sizemore but nobody wanted a pick to hold him for the year. We added Kendrys Morales. We probably paid close to full price according to ADP but I am a HUGE believer in contract years. Hes on a new team and last year of arbitration. He's playing for his first big contract. Next we went after Crisp. The oft injured OF has lots of little ailments but when in is solid. If he can manage 500AB's he will produce solid 1st or 2nd round stats. If I can get 40SB and 10HR I will be very happy. Another player playing for contract. I am expecting him to step up. Last trade was adding Prado. At first I didn't like him to much. Not very flashy. Has about 10HR and 10-15SB a year plus 70-80 runs and RBI. Yet what makes him valuable is his position eligibility. He looks to be eligible for 2B/SS/3B/OF. His value is obviously 2B/SS. Will give me the flexibility in draft to go in any direction. Prado is a very weak 3B/OF but he is a top 10 SS or 2B. So today is the last day. Will there be any last minute deals? Probably not. We currently are not in discussions with any team. Will always listen to offers. If a deal makes sense we will explore it.
