Sheffield has been struggling badly with his control in Tacoma and that won't fly at the next level. I think LeBlanc (if he's healthy) is better in that spot.
Yup.

I think we're not using our best potential rotation either:
1. Marco
2. Kikuchi
3. Elias
4. Sheffield
5. Swanson
Is a better rotation in my opinion... I think Swanson figured out that he can't throw fastballs 90% of the time and should be better going forward. Cutting Leake and Felix out could only help at this point.
Take out Swanson and add Leblanc. How many teams have had a rotation of all lefties?

They should look into signing Kimbrel after the draft to avoid giving up a draft choice.

To flip him at the deadline? I guess it would be like buying a draft pick for a couple mil.

Their BP isn't good. I guess that's an option too.

Kimbrel turned down a qualifying offer and still thinks he is worth more than 18 mil, I do not want him on some multi-year year contract earning what Seager is when we are slowly getting out the inflexible purgatory the large contracts we had put us in to.

Also you have to start questioning the guy's IQ. Same with Dallas. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. These guys are cutting of their heads to spite their bodies.....

Boras by all accounts has told Dallas to take a couple of offers and Dallas has said he thinks he is worth more.

Someone needs to give Dallas an Econ 101 lesson. You are only worth what others think you are not what you think you are.
