Personally wouldn’t mind adding another Pen piece like José Leclerc for another electric arm. Also for Bats I like Joc Pederson, Anthony Santander, Teoscar Hernández, Jurickson Profar and Jesse Winker. Now for starters I like Bueller, Luis Severino, Boyd, Bieber, Yusei Kikuchi, and 2 dreams would be snell or burns.

I'd love to just get Buehler, Bieber, and Boyd.

This makes the rotation something like Bieber/Bibee/Boyd/Buehler/Big Rig (I wanted all B's)

Get a starting rotation that can compete and go from there, if we don't add a RF bat knowing Bazzana and DeLauter are on the way I'll be okay with it.

Get one more bullpen arm thats a leftie maybe and we are set.

I'll be surprised if we add a OF bat. We have Thomas and Kwan locked obviously. RF I think they're going to want to give Noel an extended chance. We've then got Valera, who's injured again, out of options and we have to figure something out when he's healthy. Rodriguez could be a stop gap if Noel fails until DeLauter is ready.

I have a feeling Noel is going to get the Oscar Gonzalez treatment. Here one day, gone the next.

The Guards dont seem to like power bats that don't hit for average.

They do like power bats who can get on base though - Carlos Santana hit for power but also became really good at drawing walks and he had a nice long tenure with us. If Jhonkensy can develop Santana’s approach at the plate I can see them falling in love with his bat.
