Option Jordan Zimmermann

Zimmermann – 4 yr/85 million (17.5, 20, 22.5, 25) SP

Pearce – 2 yr/8 mil (3, 5) – Utility

Justin Morneau – 1 yr/4 mil – 1B

Dexter Fowler – 2 yr/7 mil – RF

David Hernandez – 800K – RP

Eric O’Flaherty – 1.2 mil – RP

First, I will start by saying it may be hard to get Fowler at this price. But, if the O’s can, this is my favorite option. It gives them a number 1/2 starter, a proven hitter at first base and right field, gives Buck Showalter more options of the bullpen, and brings back Steve Pearce. Reimold, or any player mentioned above can man left field. The rotation would look like Zimmermann, Tillman, Jimenez, Gausman, Gonzalez, with Wright and Wilson battling for spots as well.
