Lots of Marlins questions today!

I am doubtful on Brinson at this point, to be honest. The raw tools and athleticism are there, but the pitch recognition and bat-to-ball skills are not.

Cardinal Rule

Now that Jordan Hicks is on the shelf (uh oh, an elbow) it appears that Alex Reyes is not simply a place holder anymore. Based on Reyes injury history, so you think the Cardinals feel that the closer role is a long-term match?

I have a hard time buying into Reyes as a starter because he's never been able to top 110 innings in a season. I think closer is much likelier, and if he runs with the job this year, maybe the Cardinals just take an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach

Trader Joe

Which veterans do you see moved at the TD?

Matthew Boyd, any of the Giants starters -- even if they're contending I think they'll look to walk the line and sell some short-term assets while trying to stay competitive and stock up for the long haul -- Cesar Valdez, maybe John Means, Trevor Story, Jon Gray, CJ Cron, Asdrubal Cabrera, Joakim Soria, Kyle Schwarber, Kyle Gibson, Joely Rodriguez ... at some point in the near future we'll do a "Way too early top trade deadline candidates" post, haha.

Jeez I forgot all the Pirates guys. Richard Rodriguez, Tyler Anderson, etc.
