Ideally even Diekman should be on the bubble. He has never been that good really

Sure. How do you plan to get rid of him? He's on a major league guaranteed contract. Cutting him on opening day costs $4.5 million.

I said ideally. Obviously the Sox won’t cut him. Dude has averaged 5+ walks per nine for six straight years. Ideally they wouldn’t have traded for him in the first place

Gallo is a plus defender in RF right? If so, I probably put Colas in LF.

Colas is also a plus defender in right.  Whichever way you go, you can't be wrong.  Also, I like that Oscar throws lefty. That's a sizable advantage in right.

I like it!  I hate Hahn a little bit less now!

If you thought Hendriks might be traded picking up arms could solidify taking that position. Everyone moves up a notch. Lopez, Graveman, Bummer , Lambert then the rest. Avila,Kelly, Diekman, Ruiz. Crochet either put in the minors upon his return in August. Barring any trades of course if Hendriks goes.

He is worth a chance. Wish  we had taken a couple more. Set up a competition from the beginning.  With the cost of pitching, even having to keep on a roster, league minimum arms have some value.   If they look good but you have no room, flip ‘em
