He's been terrible for the last two years. I prefer McCormick as an option, who has also been bad for two years but at least has a decent floor as a good fielder.
Solid B for me. I think If we had added more infield depth and a closer type for the pen, I'd have given an A. But overall I like what we did. I feel better about the team this spring than I did last year.
Ok yeah thing is if it's not Gallen then no other SP on the market is better than what we have. And between Alcantara, Carlson, McCormick I'm feeling ok about 4th OF. Now if they got a RF/DH type big bat that's another story but I don't know who fits that bill.
Not a huge deal but interesting trade going down:
Strowd was a decent reliever last year and the other guys are interesting lottery tickets. Alexander is out of options and obviously behind Henderson and Holliday and Westberg on the depth chart.
I feel like I'm missing something. Andujar never was going to be a Shaw replacement. As a bat, maybe. But he can't play the infield. He would have basically been competition for Tyler Austin.
