RE: WE NEED A BATZ!

Everybody knows that the offense this year will probably not be that good. We don't really have that much pitching depth. We shouldn't trade Jonathan Sanchez without someone good to replace him in the rotation. Noah Lowry may never pitch again. Other general managers are not willing to unload star players onto us for the hell of it. Defense matters too. Randy Winn is good at baseball.
Is there anything I didn't cover?

Huh. I was sure this thread was going to be a trade prop for Brewers prospect Bubba Batz.

Yeah, but how can you turn down the opportunity to trade for the celebrated Brian Bixler? That guy can steal a base!

Pat Burrell/Adam Dunn/other
all hit, no field outfielders are not that good and are going to be horribly overpaid.

Is this really true? It doesn’t seem like they’re getting any attention whatsoever on the market at the moment. If they could be had for 2-3 years at $10-12 mil a year, would that be overpaying?

Well...
the first part is definitely true. Burrell has been worth about 13-14 million over the past 2 year and Dunn has been worth about 9-12, so depending on how you project them they may not be overpaid at that rate.

I still would like to see either of them at first base, as long as the price is around that and not much more. I guess neither is really interested in it though (it sounds like Sabean did approach Dunn about playing first base and he said “lol no”.)

Fangraphs!
Over the last three years, these guys have basically been about league average overall. Would they be overpaid if the deal was 2-3/10-12? Probably not, but our current roster needs to be taken into consideration. If we’re going to be playing a replacement level player instead, it would be a worthwhile signing (hence, Renteria = good), but if you can already get something close to league average at a very low cost (which I think Ishi + Phelps can do), then it’s probably not worth the cost for the marginal upgrade.

I can’t help but worry that the Ishikawa/Phelps platoon of possible league average goodness is going to be replaced by Rich Aurilia! The Goodbye Tour! :\

some people are advocating replacing Winn or Lewis with those guys, that belongs under the “nah” tag.

I’m terribly interested in those guys, but I feel like there’s at least an argument to be made for them. That other stuff makes me want to pull out my own hair.
