March 16, 20224 yr With the shortened spring training, we will probably see more injuries. Having surplus SP could be an important insurance policy.

He is a great fielding, crafty lefty. Right now we have four power arm righty starters...having Keuchel in the middle to screw up teams? I mean he's on the roster and costs no prospects. I know he is innings limited but with Lopez and Crochett and Keuchel it would seem like you could give everyone a bit of time off. If Keuchel is terrible by the trade deadline...well then hopefully some of the very young prospects will be getting some buzz and we can trade for a stud starter for the playoffs. We don't want keuchel's option for next year to automatically vest for one reason.

March 16, 20224 yr There has never been a more Oakland A's looking player on this team than Gavin Sheets. And I like Sheets, I just feel like he fits the mold of an A's hitter during my lifetime.

I like the guy but it’s worth moving him if he can net a solid arm.

He doesn't seem like a guy the Sox pick and develop. Vaughn is. I never liked the Vaughn pick for this reason. A good heuristic for Hahn is see who Oakland likes. If they like Sheets, he's probably decent and precisely the kind of guy a similarly 'second-class' franchise would want.

Sheets reminds me of Matt Stairs who in his prime for 3 years (1997-1999) was a pretty good hitter 1B/OF type. Hung around for 19 years. 265 Career HR's. One of those LH professional hitter types like Michael Brantley only a step below. Brantley higher batting average more doubles less homers,more AB's on a year to year basis.

March 16, 20224 yr Burger is the top option to go to Oakland now. All competitors are giving up minor league talent for major league talent while the White Sox will have to give up major league talent to improve

Paired with minor league pitching (or lack thereof), which we all witnessed is what ultimately spelled the downfall of the purported Cubs' dynasty.

Someone has to play in Oakland after all.
