Rounding_Third

I sure hope that one of those splashes is Brantley. A LH every day DH is our most glaring need. Moncada, Grandal, and Eaton aren't nearly enough. The 2020 record and stats against righties bear that out (w/Mazara vs Eaton). If its not a big splash because of signing Hendriks then a solid lesser one.....and NOT Schwarber!!!

Thanks! Even better if for less $. I agree about his D. But teams like to have a stable DH (only) in the order; Encarnacion, Cruz, Thome, etc. He's never done it but, if willing, I think he could make the adjustment (and also to the AL) and be a real force from the left side. He's also good enough to face lefty's and be in the lineup every day. Good veteran presence. This is predicated that 2020 was an aberration for him and not permanent substantial decline. His 2019 numbers were also down a little but I'd be very happy with them, especially for <$5m. He can also play a few positions in a pinch though below average. He could be a fantastic fit for a bottom price.

I saw site where market value for Colome at $7.9 and Hendriks at $15.5. Have no idea of its accuracy or reputation.

I'd rather see Colome resigned and use the $7-8m savings for other needs. Spending big bucks on a closer is so risky especially when other holes need to be filled.

Just joined. Greetings to all!!! If $15m remains; Colome, 2 yr-$8m per; Daniel Murphy, 1 yr-$5m + opt; Kurt Suzuki, 1 yr-$2m + opt. Would have to rely on org to provide 4th & 5th starters but Murphy (DH) could fit nicely between Abreu & Jimenez or Jimenez & Robert pushing Eaton to eighth.
