I mean the Twins just got Sonny Gray for a late 1st rd HS pitcher. Unless it's for someone like Ketel Marte, trading Vaughn should be off the table. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCCWS Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 With the shortened spring training, we will probably see more injuries. Having surplus SP could be an important insurance policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he was BAD last year...but he was top five CYA the year before that. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to throw an awful lot of innings before that even becomes a consideration. There is no chance they’ll allow the option to vest. He’ll be released if need be.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the guy but it’s worth moving him if he can net a solid arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Harry Chappas Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Burger is the top option to go to Oakland now.

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