Something is going on with Skenes.  Not sure what it is, is he just tired of the Pittsburgh grind, and a change in scenery will fix it?  Is there some kind of injury, or discomfort going on?

If he is 100% healthy, I'd consider Made straight up, but then again, I'd change my mind 10 minutes from now.

Imagine Miz, Skenes at the top of the rotation, then we grab Skubal at the deadline?

Miz, Skenes, and Skubal, with Harrison as our #4?

Ok, ok, I'm awake, I must have dozed off for a bit...

His velo is down about 2 mph from last year. Good one against the Braves last time out.

Not much prospect love for Burke in this thread. That's a head scratcher. I guess he is perceived as too "lumbering" maybe? Haven't checked his defensive assessments though, so maybe that's a knock? And everybody has Fischer as the darling 1B of the future instead maybe. I see Burke as the good contact for average, lower K rate, above average power better version of Vaughn. Make Fischer the DH of the future if he gets his K's down. The BIG BAT baton was handed from Braun to Yeli, and it's likely to be passed to Fischer. 

I see them as insurance for each other. One of the two hits, we're good. They both hit... we'll have to find ABs for Burke the next couple years until he can take over at DH(by then maybe someone else steps in)... but I'd be in no rush to get rid of either one. 

I'd say Fischer is far more likely to be the 1B of the future though. The RHer in Fischer and the lefty in Burke.

Man, talk about a kings ransom. But not while he's throwing 94. I think right now his value would be where Soto's was when he got traded. 

Three years with Mis... we should be able to keep Made as well in theory, but the Pirates wouldn't trade with us. The pen also takes a huge leap as you have Sproat throwing maybe 2 innings out of the pen, maybe his stuff ticks up, Henderson, same thing.
