As discussed in the shoutbox, next year's rotation of Bieber-Civale-Plesac-McKenizie-Quantrill looks formidable. I think Eli Morgan is a keeper too.
Here are my thoughts on the upcoming decisions:
Daniel Johnson- Probably has to go. He hit a HR last night, but I have seen enough of him to think he is not the answer.
Oscar Mercado- Guy is helpless at the plate. I have seen enough.
Bradley Zimmer- He has pulled me back in, yet again. Guy is starting to regain some power. Hopefully, we can sign him to a pretty team friendly deal and he is a 4th OF type.
Myles Straw- Love him. Let's pencil him in for CF for the next 3 seasons.
Owen Miller- Obviously too early to let him go, but his major league debut has been concerning.
Andres Giminez- Everyone raves about him, but he has been dismal in his short time here. With all of our middle infield prospects can't we trade him for something useful?
Amed Rosario- I do not think his future is at SS, and he frustrates me with his mental and effort errors. Someone said this in a response to Zack Meisel, but since he can hit we have to keep him and use him in a Zobrist type role playing some infield and outfield.
Bobby Bradley - willing to give him the starting 1b job next year. Longish leash on that.
Johnson and Mercado can go, agreed.
Zimmer as fourth is okay, good late inning pinch runner, too.
Straw is good starting CF, ink him.
I think that Miller will hit eventually, probably start him at 2B.
Giminez? I dunno, maybe. Arias in AAA looks like the future SS to me.
Rosario would be a nice Zobrist minus the preaching-fucking wife.
Bradley is indeed the answer at first, for now.
Like every other year for the past 15, need to sign a starting OF.
