    So we’ve signed 2 castaway pitchers and a 12 year old SS. We are kinda like the team in “Major League” lol.

    Yes I know Nick Allen isn’t 12. He just looks and hits like he is.

    I’m just kidding. Joe Ryan is pretty good. Hope we get him.

    I thought we signed a pitcher from the korean league.

    Nate Pearson (former 1rd, most likely RP) and Ryan Weiss (Korea, hopeful SP).

    Winter Meetings are next week, that's when things really ramp up.

    Dang, we missed out on a .200 hitter with no power and limited OB%. So close. We could've made him our next waiver.

    Interesting both because Mullins could’ve been a target for Houston but also because the Rays could have been a buyer for Meyers.

    He would have been great on the Stros when they were talking about him ~5 years ago.

    Sucks he went to Tampa though.

    Collin McHugh was considered a castaway

    Of all the places in the AL he could end up, that might be the coolest.

    However, San Fran would be the best

    Looking at this again, I could still see Houston sending Meyers to Tampa in a trade for Pepiot or Rasmussen and taking back Josh Lowe. That would give Tampa an OF of Fraley in RF, Meyers in CF, and Mullins in LF. Josh Lowe is entering arbitration and was below replacement level last season; Houston might see him as a buy-low rebound candidate who could at least serve as competition for Melton, Cole, Smith, and Trammell for the CF and RF jobs.

    I'd rather have Polanco. If the Mariners get Donovan, don't see them in the Polanco market anymore. Donovan is over-rated because he plays multiple positions, but his bat is weak. If that was our main off-season acquisition to play him in LF, it would suck because we'd have one of the shittest OF's in baseball again.

    I wouldn't say Donovan's bat is weak. He's got the same career OPS as Polanco. Polanco does hit for more power if that is what you mean though...

    I don't agree. Rather have a consistent on-base player like Donovan than a one dimensional Polanco in his 30s.
