Louisville 2044 Preseason Block

3B Rafael 'Big Time' Gutiérrez: 70 POT, this 24-year-old model of consistency is going to give you about 4 WAR every year with outstanding defense at 3B. Cost-controlled on a ridiculous deal for 2 years. Absolutely dominates LHP.

Cost: Specs, at least one being a top guy (65 POT minimum)


I keep hearing that people need pitching, and I'm willing to trade one of SP Commie Child or SP James Browning in the right deal for a mass of specs. Sure, they have injury concerns, but few SP don't. Manage them appropriately and they'll get the job done.


And...

Kwak. If you really want to win a ring, he's 24 and not asking for the highest salary in the BBA as an extension. It's high, though. But you know what he can do. I'd be negligent not to see what people would offer.

Need a LHB C with 10 C ability and an almost guaranteed ~1.5 WAR from the long side?

If that was -1.5 WAR, I think I know a guy with a 14 catcher rating.
