Then we've only got Seager and Saunders to give at the moment. After this season both Montero and Ackley should be there too, wouldn't you think?
Funnily enough, the guy out of that batch who cannot be replaced via the minors right now is Saunders.
If Ackley goes then we can move Seager back to 2nd, or use Franklin/Triunfel/Miller/Romero (sheesh...) to fill.
If Seager goes, it's the same cadre of minor leaguers, plus Liddi should we so choose.
If Montero goes well there's some dude named Zunino who's a top-10 prospect in the game to replace him.
But Saunders? If you consider him a CF, then we have Morban and Landry about to get their feet wet in AA this year but still a little ways away from their potential big-league debuts. If he's a corner, then...um... move Romero, I guess? We'd play Wells a lot, I'm guessing, but unless Peguero covers up that huge chasm in his swing there's not really a corner bat who's anywhere near ready.
*shrugs* I love Seager. I think we'll be fine keeping all our kids, but as Spock would say, "'Fine' has variable definitions. Fine is unaccaptable."
Kids gotta be more than fine, or we're gonna have to bundle some up to get real production in here. Hopefully this is the year the talent starts to provide results, because I would love to see what Felix/Iwakuma/E-Ram/Paxton/Hultzen could do if backed by an offense with More and KMo giving a 120 OPS+ and Montero/Seager/Saunders/Ackley chipping in 110 each.
Stay away from the black hole whammies and that team could be fun. We are planning to have a platoon parter on standby for Ryan, right? Right, Jack?
