And... just... like... that...
Time to start looking to next season.
Free-Agents:
Carlos Beltran (DH)
Carlos Gomez (CF)
Ian Desmond (OF)
Colby Lewis (SP) - I think he retires
Mitch Moreland (1B, DH)
Contract Options:
Lucroy (C)
Holland (SP)
Roster:
C: Lucroy, Chirinos, Nicholas
IF: Odor (2B), Andrus (SS), Beltre (3B)
Other IF: Odor (2B, SS), Alberto (Util IF)
OF: Mazara, Choo, Rua, Hoying, DeShields
SP: Hamels (1), Darvish (1), Perez (3/4), Holland
RP (R): Barnette (32), Bush (30), Dyson (28), Jeffress (29), Kela (23)
RP (L): Diekman (29), Claudio (24)
Needs:
I think we need:
CF: Desmond or Gomez could be the answer and I think both like what they've seen in Arlington.
1B: We could bring Moreland back. Or any other player. We could use Rua.
SP: I think Hamels, Darvish and Perez are fine, aside from the finish. Darvish & Perez were both coming back from TJ. Hamels carried the load. I think we will find out he had something undisclosed. He fell apart down the stretch and something is just not right physically, IMO.
Opportunities:
Andrus: I think he proved himself this season. Finally.
Profar: We either need to move him or Andrus. Too much value to move off SS.
OF: With Choo, DeShields, Hoying and Rua... we could find a CF or trade in package.
Minors: We have a couple SPs in the minors that should get a look.
Holland: Pick up his option and trade him.
