The Puerto Rican offense in #MLBTheShow is NASTY!
The only problem is that there aren't a whole lot of pitching options after Edwin Diaz.

This ended up in my lap, which is OK I guess. I've been taken in by both of these players before and regretted it, but the moral of the story is it doesn't matter what other people tell you. Sometimes you just have to make the mistake yourself.
Twins Sign Bell, Phillies Sign García, Because Nobody Learns From Others’ Mistakes
I was a kid once, I’ve eaten crayons, I know they’re not good. But I guess everyone has to find out for themselves.

If that's all the big moves for the offense, I think this lineup can win the NL East.
The pitching side is good, assuming they can stay healthy, but I wouldn't mind some crazy blockbuster trade for a SP. I don't really want them to sign any of the FAs and give up a pick.

I really enjoy Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous and Chaos Theory. I love the idea of "hey, here is this other thing that was happening inside a story you already know."
Feels like the payoff to the Cloverfield sequel idea of another group going through the same incident.

I like where the @Braves.com' pitching staff is right now. IMO, they need to figure out SS before adding another SP.
Opt 1: Sign H.S. Kim, then you can go after a SP w/ a QO attached.
Opt 2: Trade for Seager, then keep the PPI to replenish the farm.
