Big onions
Check out the list for yourselves and feel free to comment on how it impacts your “if I were GM” potential moves. What moves do you have the onions to make?

not too many on there that look to be worth a 2st (or in our case, early 2nd round) pick, when you combine it with the contract cost.
A few guys like Marquis, and even Bay (and quite likely lackey) also scare me from fear of getting way to much contract. Not sure I want to see Bay wandering around in LF at citi 9and will his power be “big” enough to not tail off?), Lackey I worry about health over a 4/64 deal, and marquis is not worth what he will probably command.
Is a guy like Lopez woth the 2nd round pick, if he doesn’t come real cheap?
Might be better to wait for guys to slide (like last year). ALthough maybe this year lots of teams wil ldo it, so you should try to snag guys early that are worried about it?
I could live with Holliday. But what about the Sp they seem to need?
sign Holliday, Lopez, and find a solid 2/3 reliable guy, and they will be mostly set. Add a guy like Harden on a s/t deal, and maybe someone to help at C, and good to go.
