Confirmed. Glad I can use some of my prospects to fill my holes for next year. I believe this is a clear signal to Shin Seiki that I'm coming!

This deal is interesting in that the team that seems to be closer to contending, SEO, takes a step back to acquire a premium prospect. It could make sense if SEO thinks Yamashita is ready to contribute now, though I don't think he's quite there yet.

Meanwhile the team that is in full rebuild mode, HYA, deals what could be a cornerstone of their future rotation for a LFer that is ready now, even though they just made a big trade to acquire a top LF prospect who is now knocking on the door in AAA. This doesn't make a lot of sense on its own, but I'm sure there will be more deals coming, probably involving LF Ikarashi (AAA) from HYA.

I know I'm close, but I have some glaring holes. Put it this way, I have some very good players, but then I have some very, very bad players. I also have no depth in my system. Yamashita and Yoshida will both be ready by 2021, the year I'm going for it.

[Evas]

Ah well if 2021 is the year you are shooting for, the deal makes total sense. I had thought it was 2020 you had in your sights.

Yeah, I thought about going for 2020, but I'd have to take a lot of risks and go for free agents.
