In regards to the OF, I hear Jose Bautista is still available and wanting to play next year...
With the signing of Roark today I just wanted to lay out what the Roster is shaping up to look like next year. I put the players rumoured in red to see how that plays out.
C: Jansen
1B: ??? (
Tsutsugo)
2B: Biggio
SS: Bichette
3B: Guerrero
LF: Gurriel
C: Grichuk
RF: ??? (
Calhoun?)
DH: ??? (
Smoak or EE?)
Bench: Drury, Hernandez, Mcgwire, ???
Starters
1: ??? (
Keuchel)
2: Roark
3: Shoemaker
4: Kay
5: Thornton
Closer: Giles.
Relief: No point trying to figure this out at the moment. But Bass, Font, and Tepera? will be there.
All things considered, and if the Core takes a step forward, thats not an altogether bad roster. They'd have a ceiling of a wild card but cant see them being a 67 win team again.
