I think teams that would be scared off by medical records would generally have a lot more money than teams that would be scared off by the draft pick. I think he'll get at least 5/60, probably more.

Still very possible. I have been 100 percent in that boat previously but am less certain of it now.

While I would love to add another solid pitcher, I just don't see it happening. I think they are content to rely on Duffy and Ventura to fill the last spots in the rotation unless someone jumps it up in Spring Training to keep Ventura in the minors.

Wade Davies will jump up and take the final rotation spot. A lock.

I agree and wish it wasn't true. They'll hold off on Ventura until they get an extra year of service from him. This will probably cost us 2 games.

That must be a minor league contract, we have no room for him. He was garbage last season and underwhelming the 2 seasons before that. Last time he was good was 2010.

edit: Couple odd bits of trivia about this guy.

#1) He is the tallest player in MLB history. (6'11")

#2) He's one of the few pitchers who has struck out 4 batters in one inning.

Andy, I was being sarcastic. But there may be truth to this.

Looks like Chris Getz is going to be stealing money from the Blue Jays this year, though its just a minor league contract.

Only way they get good value out of paying Getz is if his wife attends each game topless, or at least in a bikini.

Sounds like same broadcast team will be back as well. Including that Robot Physioc

I'm actually neutral on Physioc. I don't love him, but I don't hate him either. However, the only thing worse than Rex Hudler is Hawk Harrelson.
