OK, as I shouted, Austin Jackson is a few days from returning. It doesn't do much for us, but he'll be back in CF. I am now ready for a 2nd move, to coincide with that one.
We've got $2M wrapped up in Weeks this year and $2.5M in Ruggiano. Ruggiano could probably be traded (because of his CF abilities), I'm not so sure about Weeks. Nobody wanted him in the offseason, as far as I know.
But I'm bringing a Tacoma bat up with Jackson, which means somebody else gets bumped.
We're in a bit of a pickle, moves to be made and a vet has to go. If we assume Romero has infield skills (he has 1 start at 2B this year), then you could let Bloomquist go, but that means that Seager is your BU SS when Miller is DHing. I suppose that isn't any worse than Bloomquist at SS, though.
Montero consumes a spot, but doesn't defend, except at a place where our starter plays everyday.
Trades? The guys we might get are no better bets thant he guys we have.
Pressure is on The Skip to get his lineup right. I'm not blaming him, mind you...not at all...but Z went out and got the vet arms and bats that were called for, now Lloyd has to get the right guys ont he field.
