Would you non-tender Travis Shaw? No, but I would test the market to see if there is any interest and see what that interest is. Would you pickup Thames option? Yes but only if Shaw is not coming back. Anyway we can bring back Grandal and/or Moose? I would try and bring Grandal back but Moose can walk. If Grandal will sign a 3-4 year deal at $15-17m per season then yes otherwise I am letting them both walk away. Are we going to upgrade shortstop or just bring somebody to push Arcia? The Brewers don't have the assets to upgrade from Arcia so that is out of question. Maybe there is a trade out there or a waiver claim for someone who is blocked at SS or just needs some playing time kind of like Villar. How do we fill out the rotation besides these three... Woodruff Anderson Davies Burnes, Houser, Peralta, Gonzalez, and Lyles should all be competing for a rotation spot. I would probably try and trade Anderson for something and then go with a rotation of Woodruff, Gonzalez, Davies, Suter and Burnes/Houser/Peralta. One player I would target in a trade is Hunter Dozier. I am not sure if the Royals would part with him and I am not sure if the Brewers even have the prospect capital to get him but he would fit in very nicely as another RH bat in the lineup. If you keep Shaw you then move Shaw to 1B and have him platoon with Braun at 1B. Lineup: Cain CF Yelich RF Hiura 2B Dozier 3B Grisham LF Shaw/Braun 1B Pina/Nottingham/Freitas C Arcia Bench: Braun/Shaw 1B Gamel OF Pina/Nottingham/Freitas C Seth Mejias-Brean UTIL (rule 5 draft pick) Saladino UTIL Rotation: Woodruff Gonzalez Davies Suter Burnes Bullpen: Hader Faria Peralta D. Williams Houser Claudio Pomeranz Probably not the top of the NL but with the addition of Dozier and a full year of Hiura this team should be better. Offensively I think this is a fluke year for Cain and he will rebound nicely next year. If Shaw can come back to form he would make the offense more potent. I am not sure how the Brewers could get Dozier from the Royals but in my made up fantasy world they do.
