Taking a big risk on Villanuava progressing big time in his last minor league year... but Sanchez was not going to make it on my ML rotation anyway.... Narron is an upgrade at lefty RP, which was the last weak part of my bullpen.... this was a needed move combined with a hopeful move for the future

Villanueva's capable of hitting the ratings jackpot at any point, but I feel more comfortable with the more developed Sanchez. Narron really didn't have any use for me.

Riccardi is also starting to look good. He is going thru one of those progressions as a CL that his ratings are going above his talent... usually means he'll go thru a boost in talent... he could become a good lefty setup man or even a closer... plus he has 6 END and could possibly become a 5th starter or something like that
