re: MLB Offseason Thread: Hosmer to the Padres, Twins get a starter

Gallo, Profar, Andrus, and Ordor is a decent young core assuming they continue to improve... Deshields, Mazara, and Rua and still young as well

Mazara is 22-years-old and Elvis and Rua are 28 and 27

Elvis is in his prime unfortunately and is entering the last year his contract, assuming he doesn't take the player option.

The young core is Mazara (22), Calhoun (22), Guzman (22, likely 1b at some point next year), Odor (23), Gallo (23), LeClerc (23), DeShields (24), Profar (24) and Kela (24).

I don't expect Darvish to come back to Texas. I think Texas will try and get Cashner to sign a somewhat big deal. He was fantastic this last season. Aside from that though, the rotation is a huge question mark.

Right now it's Hamels, Perez, Nick Martinez and two empty spots. So if you don't sign three somewhat quality guys, Nick fricking Martinez is in the starting rotation.
