A catcher and a 1B in the outfield. This team needs to go ahead and make some trades to rebalance the roster.

Melendez may not be a long term catcher...he also runs well so that's a non issue.

Anyhow Tyler Gentry and Samad Taylor along with Nick Loftin are all close to the majors so no worries, it's not like Bradley, Oliveras or Lopez are keepers.

The best part of that is Witt is not leading off...dude is not a leadoff hitter.

Yep won't have to worry as much with Pratto or Vinnie getting gunned trying to steal 2nd before a Salvy dong

Haven't actually watched a game in quite a while. Nice to see at least one of the other pieces is doing relatively well.

Hopefully Nate Eaton is already back in the minors,that guy is just not an MLB caliber player. I don't know what happened,he wasnt quite as terrible last season.

Why Not?

God all of those young pitchers really are busts huh? Singer gave us some false hope but he sucks also.
