Spring Training 2015

[dak]

To be fair, he hasn't managed more than 75 innings or so in the last 3 years.

This is exactly what limits Wandy's value (to us and in a trade). Highly unlikely he can give more than 100-150 IP this year even if he's healthy since his arm isn't conditioned to pitch a full season. I'm still happy with the Wandy pickup and prefer him to Stults, but he will eventually turn into a pumpkin. Maybe Folty will be ready by then.

Are we even "allowed" to trade Wandy until May / June since he was acquired as a free agent? Not sure if that rule applies for minor league deals.

I don't think we'll decide on Wandy till late in ST and he likely has an opt-out for early April same as Stults.
