Yes. Yes. Yes. Miranda's range at third is about what Farmer's is at short.

Farmer's range at 3rd far, far exceeds Miranda;   .65 per 9 and .78 per G,  why does any one think he was picked up for short stop when a Thrid Baseman is what is missing?

Just sign Correa to the 9year 324 million deal already. Add that to last year and it like he got the 10year deal we wanted for 359 million.

Agreed whole heartedly with this take.

I don't know who I saw pose the suggestion on here first (all credit to them for this), but Omar Narvaez at $4mil for a season seems like the perfect Jason Castro impersonator to pair with Jeffers.

I like Navarez a lot and since we have the funds, I would even go 2 yrs and 11-13 million Total. Ledt handed and great 60-65% platoon with Jeffers

Having a SS solution in place before you go shopping makes your initial bargaining position better (you're not sitting across the table from Boras desperate for a guy) and removes the danger of trying to nail something down in March.  It's like eating before you go grocery shopping, just smart and helps avoid dumb purchases. 

I don't think they trade Gordon until Celestino proves he can actually play CF at the major league level. He showed some knuckleheaded moves on the basepaths, they did figure him out at the plate and he wasn't great about throwing to the right base, so there's substantial work to be done before he deserves a spot as large as Buxton's caddy.

Scenario A is, to me, what's going on here. 

 

I think it also signals the end of Gordon as an infielder. Until injuries make that a need.
