Jack may disagree, but I think it’s clear that Lopez has a much more realistic chance of becoming a TOR starter than Giolito if he can command the fastball & get that change working consistently.
Steverson may be the bees knees for all I know, but I continue to be unimpressed with our guys approaches and the length of slumps they through at time. I worry he gives the players too much to autonomy to figure shit out themselves.
Sure, I’d part with any of those for Senzel. The problem is they’d want Cease, Dunning, + and that’s a tough pill to swallow at this point in the rebuild.
I’d sign a veteran if one is available on a short-term deal. I’m less inclined to give playing to fringe prospects once Eloy & Kopech are up and most of our top prospects are in AA and therefore not too far away.
I don’t think any of those guys will be our 1B & DH on our next good team. We’re going to have a lot of money to spend and adding a veteran middle of the lineup bat makes sense if Sheets, Burger, & possibly Collins don’t appear to be the answer.
