The A’s may have too much young talent…..
In the outfield.
Soderstrom, Butler, Bolte, Clarke, Thomas, Cortes, Rooker
A couple of these guys have to get traded while they have value.
The keepers:
Rooker - solid DH
Bolte, looks legit
Soderstrom off to slow start, but solid.
Who to trade:
Clarke - elite defense but can’t hit. Bolte is going to take his spot.
I would love to trade Butler, who may been a flash in the pan, but that contract.
Cortes - he gives me Rooker 2.0 vibes, a guy who figured it out later, in his late 20s.
Thomas - i have a feeling this dude is going to be a 25/30 HR guy. Just needs the FT opportunity.
