    Gavin Hollowell is still on the 40 man. Seems unlikely he survives much longer. An easy space to free up would be returning Workman and then working out a deal with Detroit to keep him, if that's how that works.

    So he's super low on Caissie and higher on Alcantara at this point than most people. Is this because he thinks Caissie is a power-only guy? And he think KA is more well-rounded?
  3. Post Count Padder
    I thought they'd kick in like 4 or 5 mil. That's quite a bit.
  4. Post Count Padder
    Maybe I missed it but how much are the Astros covering?
  5. Post Count Padder
    Bello is a nice prospect but not a huge loss. Good deal.
  6. Post Count Padder
    This is what I'm thinking. And this is the reason players want the NTC. They have their family and personal lives to consider. I don't think he wants to drag this out but he's probably figuring out logistics before he says yes.

    Mets sign Adbert to a two year minor league deal. That sucksssss. Really wanted him to come back.
  8. Post Count Padder
    Always liked Robertson, would be happy to have him back on a one-year deal.

    If that's the case, that would be great. Keep an interesting young depth player and open up a 40 man spot.

    That's the thing. He is a good player and I just never like the idea of giving up a lot for one year (Tucker included, though I can't say I hated that deal, just how little followed it). We do have someone on the way out for Berti too so there are some moves to be made. So Canario would be fine I suppose but now we have no options for the OF bench (it won't be Alcantara or Caissie). Keegan is a guy I like for personal reasons and he has been effective but I have assumed he wouldn't make it to OD anyway. Brujan seems unlikely to stick around with Berti. I'd rather keep Killian for the time being. Zastryszny is really only around until we get another lefty. If we work out a trade to keep Workman, he remains on the 40 man right?

    I like Pressly but not the idea of giving up assets for one year of a reliever. If we can expand the deal, they have this prospect I like named Cam Smith. Wonder what it would take.

    If that's the case, give me Connor Joe or Mark Canha and I would love to work out a deal to keep Workman. I think at the very least he'd be a solid defensive backup around the infield. I think we did something similar a few years ago to keep a Rule 5 pick in the system. All that said, I'm not loving the lack of power on the bench,
  14. Post Count Padder
    Hey, get excited, we have our backup middle infielder! One year deal worth $2 million. He's not a bad depth guy but these feels an awful lot like settling. Good defender, no power. And it's his birthday today.
  15. Post Count Padder
    Not a bad get if it's a MiLB contract. If he's requiring a 40-man spot then we truly are dumpster diving.
  16. Post Count Padder
    Oh it's super intentional.
  17. Post Count Padder
    Idk how legit these guys are but it would be an odd thing to make up. Guess this is our 3rd catcher going into the season, barring an opt-out. Seems like a handy guy to have around.
  18. Post Count Padder
    I saw the Yates news ands couldn't help but laugh. Like, what else can you do at this point. And at this point, I'm all in on one year for Robertson and/or Jansen, unless the Dodgers sign them too. Gotta make a move now, Jed. Waiting game is over.
  19. Post Count Padder
    I've been ok with Canario being the 4th OF. He has no options and I think he can hit enough to hold down the role. At least give him a shot at it before throwing in the towel on him.
  20. Post Count Padder
    Water is wet.
  21. Post Count Padder
    I thought it was Keegan Thompson with glasses but it might be Ethan Roberts?
  22. Post Count Padder
    I saw a group photo of some of the team with Sosa and he was the only one I couldn't figure out. He looks different without glasses/rec specs ha.
  23. Post Count Padder
    Snell Glasnow Yamamoto Sasaki Ohtani Gonsolin May and 4 guys coming off surgery and Miller, Knack, Frasso in AAA. Embarrassment of riches.
  24. Post Count Padder
    No worries! We're all fans, some of us have favorites and memories and that's the point of these profiles. And sure!
  25. Post Count Padder
    Oh so that's how a good team operates.
