Less than 3 weeks until Spring Training games….which player is going to be the HMCBSOHLA winner?
(Honorary Miguel Cabrera Best Shape Of His Life Award)
Mize was the consensus #1. I don’t fault Avila for the pick….sometimes it just doesn’t play out like you thought it would. If we didn’t take him, we’d have taken Bart. Equally as disappointing
At this point it’s probably worth it to just release Maeda for Flaherty.
Id much rather run with Brant Hurter as a multi-inning relief guy since he doesn’t walk many and limits HRs.
I’m good with that because it buys us time with Jobes progression, gives us a year to see how SGL returns from injury, and gives us one more year to decide what to do with the likes of Mize/Manning/Montero/Hurter.
Beautiful. 2 year deal for Flaherty for 35 mil. Opt out after the first year.
I like our rotation now. Skubal/Flaherty/Olsen/Cobb/Jobe or Mize. That will be verrry competitive in the ALC this year.
The nice thing about having a top 5 farm system in this instance is that most of them are in A ball, so aside from Jobe, we aren’t up there because of 2 or 3 prospects about to break into the bigs with nothing of note behind them. The system has both quality and depth.
Unless he comes out crushing in ST, I’d rather have Wenceel than Tork. I also have a feeling that Baez will start on the DL and have an extended rehab.
