Manager Report Trade Offer and Scouting CF Billy Hamilton
We got a trade offer from GM Rick Hahn of the Chicago(A) White Sox - again nothing to get excited over, a so-so RP for Joe Musgrove - which I'm going to decline after looking over the White Sox roster first.
I also wanted Scouting Director Phil Humber to double check the talent and numbers on CF Billy Hamilton. He is on a minor league deal (turns into free agency in 30 days from start of season if not called up) SD Humber reports Hamilton's numbers are VERY slightly lower than evaluated by OSA scouts.
I am seriously thinking about seeing if San Diego might swap both Renfroe and Hamilton as a package, I figure that Hamilton will seal a spot if Renfroe is traded, so I need to pry them both loose at once, and that will be expensive. Hamilton's popularity will also help to put butts in the seats, which will be needed this season.
Also SS Kevin Newman went down with a moderate sprained ankle, he was given a two week timeframe to recover, so he was added to 10 day injury list.
