Again, on and for the record...

Trade Bautista now while he still has enough value to bring in a stud prospect or two

Trading KJ/Edwin makes sense unless you want to pay them big bucks next year and not sign a FA.

I'm excited to see what EE will get us. If, this month, he goes on another hot streak, we might not have to wait till July. Both AL and NL Central are very competitive right now. I'd like us to raid Pittsburgh's farm. They can't score runs and their 3B position is weak.

Cleveland was looking at Youkilis so that's a possibility, too. Basically, every team that was interested in Youkilis is prey for AA.

Well over the last 2 years AA has been able to add significant young talent down the middle while in a "selling" mode. After filling longer term holes at SS and CF this year I'm hoping to see 2B filled. With KJ likely departing ether via trade or FA. As such I am excitedly awaiting the arrival of one of Jason Kipnis, Dustin Ackley, or Jose Altuve.

I agree 100%. I love Bautista, but hes on the wrong side of 30. I dont even think it would hurt fan attendance that much if he got traded. People seem to be more in love with Lawrie.
