This really is the month that will define his career. So far so good with Robert. Now he needs another great draft in Mid June followed by properly moving assets. I think the Quintana discussions will drag on because of the ask but it sounds like there is a nice market developing for Robertson. He needs to identify trade targets for Holland and possibly Gonzalez. I think he needs to move those two early in the process because of their more modest talents. I think he can wait back on the rest of the bullpen arms. Additional relievers are always on every contenders wish list so teams will be calling him about the guys who have been productive up to the last hour of the deadline and even beyond. Finally, he needs to work some magic to find a spot for Frazier and Melky. I have a feeling someone will take Melky after the waiver period but only provide salary relief. Perform well over the next month and he will have set himself up with a job now and into the future. Perform poorly and he is looking at a lifetime of assistant jobs. |

2016 is still too early to call. 2014 and 2015 look like shit though...top 10 picks..that's the bounty of tanking. that's where you have to add your Kris Bryants, your Kyle, I mean Ian Happs.... |

Zack Collins isn't hitting, Hanson might be solid though. |

Collins defensive improvements are a bigger deal than his offensive struggles. |

His WS performance was worth it. |

But you know you have a gem when they destroy the league...not "tread water with an OPS just over 800". |

Collins looks like a better than average defensive catcher now. even if he hits .220 there's plenty of value. that Fulmer pick though. BAD. |

Hopefully he becomes the best defensive catcher in MLB history. Because Schwarber is not hitting it means Collins also will not. Got it. I will bet that he's a better defender than Schwarber already. So there is at least that going for him. |

Let's put it like this....Schwarber is probably the worst Cubs 1st round draft pick of the Theo era(so far, or maybe Almora, we shall see..). Collins might be the best.(since 2012). Where does that put you? |

Jim Abbott was a better defender than Schwarber will ever be. |

You need to look up the definition of the word perennial. |
