Research:




Needs:-    LHSP

Thoughts:   

A considerable amount of this team’s prospect talent graduates to the AAA level this spring.

Arizona has a considerable amount of players under contract for such a small salaried team.

For some reason, they keep signing shortstops.

Recommendations:

This is a very young team with a lot of players that have had very little national exposure. It’s a remarkable job of building a winner with very little money.

I’m surprised we haven’t heard about this team and the Mets seriously discussing Jon Niese. They have a ton of young talent that have no place to play and I could easily see trading for, let’s say, OF Pollack and LHP Skaggs.

I would love to get back Skaggs and Pollack in a trade for Niese
