The busy couple of days continues for the Hurricane front office. SS Cisco Argente and RP Sergio Castillo were traded to Paris for a package of prospects that have 4 players who could be PLUS players in the big leagues. The trio of 1b Djojopoespito (now to be known as just Dojo ), C Cho-yun Lee, and CF Badr bin Hassan all have massive potential to be big different makers for my offense in the future. The incredible potential development of power from Dojo got me over the fact that I may be back logged in 1b prospects. It's that type of light tower power that excites me. Hassan has a chance to get into my big league lineup from day 1 with his speed and defensive abilities. I'm (obviously) willing to wear the growing pains of a young player to see him develop. Lastly, Lee is another bat from a spot that doesn't always have great bats (catcher) that I really like.
The last couple of days could be eye-popping for the league to watch as Florida unloaded basically all of the talent on the roster on prospects. I'm willing to take a beating from the league now for championships later. Our time in Florida will come, maybe not this year or next year but it will come.
Just moved 30yo reliever Jin-suk Kim for two prospects, one of which I'm hopeful to reach his potential. Ultac Sharif (R) is a 19 year old 1B who I really think could develop into some power and play an average first base. We will miss Kim, who was going to be anchored at the back end of the bullpen this year, but he will be much more useful to Karachi this year than he would be with us.
Sent 25 year old pitcher Ottavio Amico to Washington for a package of prospects who I think has the right balance of future really good players, and a guy who will be able to give me depth in what could be an ugly season in Tampa. I was really hesitant to give up on Amico right now, but with the way my organization is right now, we won't be serious contenders until he is much past his prime. With Washington in full blown championship push mode and in need of a LHP starter, I think the match fit perfectly.
Any and all Emerald is available. Have some really good bullpen arms. Looking for picks and prospects. It's time to finally do the rebuild I put off for a few years now. It was a good run. (sigh)
I know I'm brand new but I am not really sure how beneficial one more wildcard team that gets to play in a play-in game or series would be. Looking over my organization, I know it's going to be a long rebuild and I don't think I would personally make a playoff push and trade prospects just to be in a play-in series.
