I am a huge fan of Suarez, but we have to do something to get some pitching and Senzil is the only prospect we have that looks like he can step in and start next season.
My problem is what guarantees do we have that Senzil will provide Suarez type numbers beginning next year? What about years after? 60%? 70% tops? Suarez is probably at what 90%. I’d keep the sure thing that’s locked up for the next 5 years at a bargain deal. Suarez isn’t bringing back an established #1 , so why not trade the guy that isn’t a sure thing for a number 2 or 3? Why not keep him too and move Scooter and Hamilton for prospects and use their money, along with the bump money to sign a quality arm and a center fielder. Their money plus the bump money should net 2 starting pitchers and a centerfielder.
