I think you touched on a good solution there – the Latin free-for-all. I reckon if we make a big splash this year, we should get the best Latin MIF, and then just take the best available player (regardless of position – likely a pitcher!) in rounds 1 & 2 of the draft.

Not sold on a 5-year deal for Reyes at all. I’m not convinced he’s going to age brilliantly (despite having a good skillset in terms of ageing) because of his injury record.

Given we’re currently running out a bunch of no-hit glove guys at 3B, I really think it’s time we made the move to get him to St Louis, even if it’s only a temporary switch. We need his bat and OBP in the lineup, and it sounds like he’s really come on as a fielder too. The 40-man really isn’t that much of an issue, we have 2 or 3 guys producing nothing who could easily be dumped (I might even suggest starting with Franklin…)
