GMKL CHAT:

My starting rotation next year is devastated with injuries and bad seasons. Smyly and Kuroda would be the best I have and they are barely serviceable as 5th starters for most teams.This draft has been fruitful as I have somehow picked up 4 of my 5 starters:

G. Richards
H. Alvarez
A. Simon
C. Young

Certainly not a superstar rotation, but surprisingly better than what I could have imagined going into the draft. It would have been tough to field a team without a #1, #2, #3, and #4 starter on the team.

Same for me. Bumgarner is the only SP I had going into the draft who looks to have a decent card next year, maybe Lohse as well but he's iffy. But I was able to pick up Kazmir, McHugh, Garza, Gallardo as well as adding Andrew Miller and Zach Britton to the pen. Offense was already pretty good so not feeling too bad at this point...

Lakeviewdave trades

Hosmer, Eric

To Steve F for

2014 6th FA pick(#70)
2014 2nd Prospect pick

Steve to confirm.

One note about this deal to make dave aware, this deal gives him 7 prospect draft picks in the upcoming prospect draft, He currently has 2 prospects on his roster. After the prospect draft he will be 1 away from the maximum number of prospects. So he only has room for one more prospect pick in the upcoming draft.

With the addition of Barnes, we can now field a 1 at every position except catcher. There were players on the board I like better than Barnes, but I just couldn't pass him up!
