You make the QO to Beltran, which is 1/14, then you offer him 2/$22 once he turns it down. If he does, you take the pick and move on.
We have internal options for the OF. I'm not concerned about getting a starter out there. However, I think the Cardinals would be wise to target a guy like Young who has a history of hitting LHP well and plays good OF defense. His SB numbers have also declined of late, but he still has some running ability as well.
They could also target Franklin Guiterrez. He can't stay healthy, but as a part time player he also offers good pop from the right side of the plate. The Mariners just bought him out today.
Choo is a RF in actuality. He was a worse defensive CF than Jay last year. I see him going to Boston.
Long term, Piscotty looks capable of being a 15/15 guy and with his speed and arm he should develop into a very good defensive OF.
