Why I do this for Texas, I unload MacHaffies contract, Taylor can only play DH and is a health risk, Darientos was a throw in, McFadden is ok, but McShane is far better.

What I get is a SP with good control and decent movement right now, which should improve as he gets closer to his peak. An RP that can be stretched into an SP with similar vitals. As well as McShane who is the real deal in my opinion, should be on pace to be better vital wise than Taylor, and actually be able to play 3B, or if to be safe with the health to develop in DH then transition to 3B.

Agreed. McShane was a even bigger health risk on 3B because of how hard it is to find a quality 3B with good health. Taylor will be a 1B/DH, and MacHaffie returns to CLE at 3B. A few decent spec for a few better specs.... Taylors upside will counter that easily in my opinion.
