I think it may be more likely that McGonigle will end up playing SS for some period than that we want him playing SS over that period. How many wins will that cost? None if you couldn't get anyone else! But it may not help their chance of winning a WS either.

Right, McGonigle would be only a short term fix at short, which is why they’re working him at short this winter. And he may even demonstrate in camp that he’s not up to it.

King is very talented, but had a rough year due to an injury which is why is probably why his statcast card looks bad.  The uncertainty is the reason the Tigers might have a chance at him.  The other issue is that they would have to give up a draft pick.  Edman said it would probably be a third rounder.  I wouldn't care about that, but others might disagree.    

I think it’s actually our 3rd pick we would lose which would I believe would be our comp pick which I think our comp pick is after the 2nd round.

Kim, King, and Fairbanks.  Maybe another multiple inning LHRP.  Then they’ll be fine for Opening Day provided good health.

Phillies giving OF Adolis Garcia $10M on a 1 year deal. The supply of RH OF is insanely low.

I’m not sure how much of an upgrade, if any, he is to Vierling.

not a Harris player for sure; .278 OPB! over his last 1200 plate appearances

That stinks.

Bummer about Kim. The past few days some guys have mentioned Detroit has interest in Okamoto.
