I think his best role is SP6 or 7 on the depth chart who can step in if there’s an injury or join the bullpen if not, but if another org values the team control and sees him as a good 5-and-dive starter, you should probably cash in.

He could fit, there’s some logic to filling the front three spots of the bullpen with guys who are good for 3 innings. But I do think if they don’t want him in the rotation this year he’s better off as part of a package to bring back a better starter.

Yeah I think they get one good lefty to replace Akin, add Wells and Suarez to the mix and if everyone’s healthy they cut the 2 who look the worst.

JoJo Romero would fit the bill. Feel like there’s another level to unlock there, too.

Well I could see a better lefty swapped in for Akin and then Wells and a healthy Suarez subbed in as well, so maybe not? But that not be what you had in mind.

Agree. I’m guessing they acquire a good lefty for that role and then maybe move Wells or Suarez in as the other guy.

Ah right, Wells should be in this picture, too.

Oh right, Wells will likely be pen bound unless there are injuries or Mike fails.

Im assuming 2 more SPs will get added replacing Selby with Wells which will help some

MiL depth is good here because I’m a little skeptical of Strowd/Selby. Happy to give them chances to win spots but I don’t want them written in ink.

Seems like they’re hitched to Enns, so maybe if they sign a LH setup option that’s the end of Akin, but I think they should try to get something back for him. I suppose they could carry 3 lefties if needed. A healthy Suarez probably wins a spot.

They’ve poached some of the brightest and fastest rising front office talent from the Red Sox, Phillies and Rays. Good sign.

He did not play for the last three months of the season due to some kind of undisclosed injury or other issue. Not sure what that's about tbh.

Long shot to put it all together, but the combo of plus raw power and competent infield defense gives him interesting utility potential if they can fix his swing.

Yup, I like it. Apparently there may have been some tipping things going on in the second half as well? Confidence seemed shot. Needs a ride down the 6 and over on the 7. Would love to see the Mets get the real Williams and Weaver.
