    This year’s Odorizzi is Mike Minor. Michael Pineda, Dylan Bundy, and Chris Archer are the other FA SP still available. Zombie Dallas Keuchel and Zombie Anibal Sanchez don’t count.

    Is there even anyone worth a **** still available via FA? Blanco could give you five starters even with Brown out with two available long mean in Bielak and Martinez. They also have Bryan Garcia still around who could conceivably start if needed.

    Haven't seen any games he's played in, but he's hitting for power with 6 doubles and 2 homers in 39 ABs.

    That is a trashy pile. Minor and Archer are hard passes for me; too consistently bad in the past few years. Maybe we can hope Pineda rebounds. But I'd prefer to throw Bielak, Blanco, Whitley into the mix instead.

    Is Julks playing his way onto this opening day roster?

    10 RBIs says yes.

    And trust me this is a good thing, I want to see Blanco get his feet wet right now, I think he is ready, the stage isn't too big for him.

    Brown will be just fine.

    I screamed the entire FA period for us to sign Wacha. He wasn't expensive. The 3 years might have been a sticking point however.

    I'm with you on the optimism side of things. Agree totally on Hensley.

    I think you maybe play Dubon when Framber is on the bump of we think he's a significant enough upgrade over Hensley.

    Is Bryan Abreu ever going to give up a run again?

    Stay tuned.
