Does every pitcher who comes over from that league have TJ surgery within the first 2-3 years they come over?

He’s horrible at churning the talent at the bottom part of the 40-man.

Yeah I think it's worth bringing in him back on a minor league deal. It seems like at least a handful of teams do this every off-season. That way they won't have to carry him on the 40-man roster all off-season.

Exactly. Not too exciting of a prospect but maybe he can be a useful MLB bench piece. Definitely can compete with whatever cheap depth right-handed 4th OF depth options they bring in to spring training.

Colas can even cover CF when Robert needs a day off.

Yeah, I think they would be interesting for depth. But not banking on either of those guys being starting players. Edit: they would be more interesting than Adam Haseley.

I'd rather have more of a sure thing than just "he plays great defense and runs fast." There's guys out there that they can pay a fraction of the price that can play defense and run fast. I get you are paying for the potential in the bat, but it's kinda silly to cite defense and speed as reasons you want him here when others can do that. Edit: that said, I don't think he signs here and goes somewhere where he will play CF while he tries to rebuild value with the bat.

I’m kind of high on Lux but he’s also currently penciled in to be their starting SS. Adding a SS, he would be penciled at 2B.

But for how much? He should have plenty of interest from non-competing teams that could add him in hope of catching fire and flipping him mid-season.

Honestly? Yeah.

Jorge Alfaro is a guy I wouldn’t mind picking up as a backup.

Bellinger sucks. Already hoping too many guys bounce back as is.

Yeah just link that and then /thread.

Right. You’re talking about a $280k gap between league minimum and 1M.

Not too shocking if he’s going to miss a chunk of the season. They could re-sign him to a minor league deal.

Thread seems kind of unnecessary as there should be battles in spring training for spots. The active roster in the off-season is the 40-man roster.

But prob not.

Makes sense. Betts can see time at 2B and CF.

It allows Fletcher to go back to 2B.

Is he going to play SS there? They find a taker for Rendon's contract?

I enjoy the tournament overall. Just don't like injury-prone players on the team I like playing in it.

Please no.

They already have a couple of 1B in AZ.

All this did was show me that Vaughn was "fine" against righties for a guy that likely wore out towards the last couple months of the season playing a more physical demanding position most of the season.
