If Arizona signs 'em (Bauer and Bradley), they dominated the 1st Round. Still have #43 to add further depth.

Bauer will be with the team later this season, so he's a keeper. Bradley won't be traded for at least two years. This makes some of their current minor league prospects available, likely, but I doubt that includes Parker and Skaggs, but maybe Holmberg and Corbin could be had for a solid #3 starter, a dominant set-up man or a 3B with solid OPS.

cy hits for power but he needs to bunt more and his average is to low
should have traded him 2 years ago

Bauer being with the Diamondbacks later this season would be beyond stupid, are you really going to risk overusing a guy just to have him for some innings in the organization? tommy john here he comes! he has already pitched plenty this year

Yeah idk why they'd risk that especially seeing how Washington fucked up promoting Strasburg as a rookie.

Perhaps. I've heard he could be used in the 7th-inning role this season. Might just be rumblings, but I've heard it from Diamondback folks and from ESPN's Keith Law.

Young provides gold glove defense and, when on base, is a threat to steal/score. He's worth playing. Is he worth paying? I think he's signed for another 4 years at roughly 6-to-8 per season.

why does he not try to bunt for a single?
