So was Hanigan and he started for the Reds for 5 years......

So were thousands of prospects you've never heard of that are now out of professional baseball...

That wasn't a compliment to Hanigan...

 

Projections miss more often than hit.

Most stuff I've saw projects him to a back-up C.

 

Do got think this makes them a playoff team? Bringing in Latos seems to suggest a go for it now approach.

Latos was a locker room problem, he needed to go.

Saw on twitter that one talent evaluator says he would have traded Descalfani for Latos, straight up!!

 

Saw that too. That's...interesting.

Lol. No he wasn't...

I don't think they are done yet. I've saw a lot of reports that they are chasing a 1B to slot in the cleanup spot.

They're a lot closer than the Reds.

 

Do they want a LH hitting 1B that plays 50 games a year and takes 3rd strikes? I think I can find one.

As is, I think they are right there for a WC spot. Nationals are still the favorite for the division IMO.

No, he wasn't. BP is the clubhouse problem.

[stickymitts]

I love clubhouse problems. Since we all spend so much time in the clubhouse.

I imagine the starting rotation to start the season will be Cueto, Bailey, Leake, Cingrani, DeSclafani

I'm pretty sure the back end of the rotation is in the Gambino family.
