After getting bounced from the play offs in the cruelest fashion (blew 3 
leads in the 8th or later to PHI), WMS now needs to look towards the 
off-season.

We're gonna be pretty bad next year, so please keep it in mind that I'm 
looking for more long term value than short, and can deal with bad cards 
next year.

Here's where we stand:

IF:
Moustakas, Crawford, Bogaerts will split time on the left side. Not 
great years for any of them, but should be solid moving forward.
Gyorko will be the primary 2B but will have a horrid card, but should 
rebound
1B is a big black hole, right now a combination of Trumbo/Morse
Turner and Arias will provided depth and back up

OF:
Pretty well set with Harper, Ellsbury, Werth, and Melky. Trumbo and 
Morse provide depth

C:
Iannetta and Ellis - Iannetta's not horrible. Hoping Ellis bounces back

SP:
Kluber, Scherzer, Buchholz, Lyles, Turner, Smyly, Tepesch, Griffin(UC) - 
Strong top 2, then drops off pretty quick

Pen:
Janssen, Loup, Storen, Walden, Lopez, Rondon(UC)


What I need:
Long term 1B solution
C Upgrade
Potential younger replacement for Werth
A couple bullpen arms
4th/5th OF types with an emphasis on speed/defense
Draft Picks

What's available:
Trumbo and Morse are available
Werth might be available in a deal that gets me a younger RF
Crawford may be available as Bogaerts will probably supplant him on the 
depth chart in IBL16
Almost everybody else is either not being traded or being held caused 
they sucked hurting trade value, but feel free to inquire.
