I'm a sucker for upside.
I think Semien is my top pick, but Gregorius would be a fine addition too.
Story would also be an outstanding help to the big club-- depending on what he costs.
Simmons is definitely fourth on my list, but even he'd be a pretty big upgrade to what was in place last year.

It really depends on terms but I think Didi is the choice, especially if it is for 2 years.
It’s about a dead heat between Gregorius and Semien in my mind. Didi has better contact skills and defense. Semien gets the edge in power potential and durability. I’d be more than happy to add either player.

Just last night, she went on and on about how much better I was than you.
And, for what it's worth, both your Mom and your wife agreed with her.

The Semien support is starting to grow.

I voted for Semien...but he or Didi would work for me...

I like Didi best. I don't trust that Semien will regain his one big year, but I'd be OK with him. If it's longer term, Semien seems more likely to slide over to 2B, but I'm not sure why I feel that way.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
Trevor Story is my pick.
This is exactly where I fall on this one. Honestly, if we get either, I think we as Reds fans will be happy either way.
And then there's Story, provided the cost in prospects isn't horrible...also a win.
Nope. Don’t want to be sitting here again next year looking for another SS replacement, because Story is gone and Garcia isn’t ready.
