    Agreed: expand AJ's horizons a bit.

    Predict he goes 170 innings, 28 starts, 7-14, 4.82 and we pay him all $6m.

    Thanks jcc and depley. That was my recollection as well. He seemed to handle us for some reason even when we had decent teams.

    The FO seems to be hoarding money for something. I assume it's mostly about the international signing period this Summer, but I'd like to see some improvements to the MLB roster. Juan Uribe and a reliable LH specialist would be a good start.

    Don't guess it's much of a big deal since it's a minor league deal, but I'd just as soon commit those resources elsewhere. I have a tough time understanding how Kendrick could be worth $6 million when there's arguably more upside in Norris for $2.5 million. Assuming the hope is that both pitch well and can be flipped for prospects. IF several of the young guys progress as expected, there aren't going to be enough innings to go around by midseason.

    There's no stopping Folty or Perez' clocks, and with Banuelos out of options we're looking at...

    Teheran
    Norris
    Kendrick (potentially)
    Wisler
    Folty
    Perez
    Banuelos
    Weber
    Chacin
    Volstad

    to allow for creative management of the clocks of Blair, Newcomb, Sims, and Jenkins.

    The more you think it through, the less sense it makes. Why spend up to $6 million on a guy like Kendrick when you could go ahead and offer $10 million (or more possibly) on a Latos, Fister, or Lincecum-type who could potentially bring you a pretty significant prospect or two if they bounce back???
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    Agreed. I'll definitely be rooting for Chacin to beat out Kendrick for a spot.

    As for Folty's clock, I think they will (and should) press pause. He didn't turn the corner as an MLB SP last year in the way that Wisler did. I don't think he has a realistic shot at making the rotation out of ST. Folty has two minor league option years. With 1 year and 9 days of service time, he only needs to be in the minors about 18 days to delay FA by a year. Two months in the minors probably prevents him from being a Super Two down the road. I think Folty will be accepting of one more stint at AAA if he sees it as his last best hope of being a SP at the MLB level.

    I would have thought the lesson would have been learned by now -- you cannot have enough pitching. We thought they had more than enough last year, but the appearance of Mark Marksberry and Ryan Weber tell you that they didn't have enough to last the season.
