I am unsure if I am a true buyer or seller, or both. I have cleared an immense amount of budget room but to date, I've dealt most of the bigger contracts.
I feel very good about the young talent I've started to assemble.
Stuart Abel is 30, the only player over the age of 29 on the ABL pitching staff. I feel very good about the rotation and I don't stress much over the bullpen year to year as long as there are some staples. I think Britton and Laskey are two of them, Laskey just 25, Britton 27. Jeremy Wagner is just 21. If his changeup does not develop over the next year or three he'll end up being a reliever.
Offensively I really like the initial moves we've made so far. Cowan C (21) Johnston 2B (27) Orozco 3B (23) Hicks SS (29) Kardell LF (25) Moss OF (23) Rowan (28) and Marshall (27) are all players I can see on the roster next year making this team competitive.
So as far as “assets' go I have Bermudez, signed through 2013, Colon, signed through 2012, Abel signed through 2012.
I have tried like hell to pry 1B Terukatsu Yoshino from LA but they aren't budging. Every deal starts and ends with Michael Behrens and that's a non-starter. This kid has monster pop and a 3 hole bat with + defensive skills. LA Is in win-now mode with a 2 game lead in the Patriot League's Coastal division over San Diego, and 4 games over Dallas. I will keep trying this week and it's likely I will have to include a top P prospect to make it happen or have a chance.
