And if Stratton looks like shit in ST or makes the team but doesn’t perform, he’ll be gone by June and they’ll eat the money.

Renfroe also declined the market, so we’ve got him for another year at $7.5 million. Don’t hate having him on the club, but not as an every day guy. Off the bench, and as a spot outfielder, he’s got some value. We really need to truly upgrade at least one of our OF spots BAD.
